RR OP??

[taintstick]

I bought this out of impulse, I was told it is a RR Orange Passion. Said that colors just need to come back. A little info or maybe I just need to wait till it grows out...

Well it's def a tenius so you have that going for you. To get the orange polyps can be a bit tricky, once the piece is happy they should get that nice orange polyp.

Lighting suggestion?
I feed a mixture of Rods and Goniopower. Everything seems to enjoy that mixture.
Any suggestions on how to get more coloration?

Lots of people get green polyps out of them rather than orange. Mine has gone both ways. Currently fairly orange. IME so far, the polyps tend to be greener if they are grown under really blue lights. The whiter spectrum seems to encourage the orange. I also notice that the polyps on the light side of the branch are more orange than the ones in the shaded areas. It is one of the fastest growing Acros in my tank.

Here's mine:

Awesome! Thanks! That's what I was thinking, cause my blues are much higher than my whites. I've been debating on whether I should turn down the blues and turn up the whites a bit to try and get that color.

I have 6-bulb ATI fixture. My bulb combo is: Blue+, Blue+, ABS, Coral+, Blue+, Blue+. The OP gets close to 500 PAR.

Ooooo well I rock the Chinese black box, a little difficult to set it right. I do love the lights, but I also love the idea of hybrid. So I'm going to make one with ATI's bulbs. Since my tank is long, I want 1 t5 on each side of the black boxes. I have a peninsula tank. I'm debating on the coral + or the purple +. I really want that purple or pink color. Of course I would turn down my whites when I install to acclimate coral.
Here's a photo of my tank to get an idea.
