Sanjay's Wrecking Ball Robusta

[tnyr5]

One of three corals that each deserve their own threads.
This thing makes the Homewrecker look dull.

A top-down that I took with my phone

And, just for fun, an actinic shot with a light orange filter ( other than the reflected blue light in the tips, this is surprisingly true-to-life)

Wow!!

Beautiful and hard to grow acro! Well done! Not rare but rare in the fact that not many people can grow them to well straight from the wild for some reason. Great photos too.

That's a very pretty coral.

Now thats what I was talking about Tony !! Somehow its epitome of all acros from all pics I have seen of Sanjay's Robusta. Love it and thanks for sharing.
Interested to see how it performs in a different tank like yours and still trying to make some arrangements to get a frag :)

Regards,
Abhishek

Do you have a not so close-up pic? I'd like to see it's growth form.

It has been legit for years... needs no tricks or filters to look good.

 

[BoomCorals]

Yea it’s on my list of pieces to get.

IIRC, robusta is a shallow coral that needs warmer, daylight spectrum. His panels at 100% on all channels probably help him here with much of the warmer spectrum that many people forsake anymore.

How do you get a frag of this?

Yes but when it grows up to a big frag I have my name on one of those frags. He’s a good person to buy from he has hooked me up

 

[justingraham]

Also has anyone tried googling this frag there is hardly anything on the interwebs about it the only thing I got was more info on Miley cirus then I wanted

I remember seeing this on Jake videos: "Robusta slash abrotunis: blah blah, hence my failed Google search :D, Thanks for sharing.

I'll always appreciate a colorful coral allowed to grow to its full potential in more natural light so this has to be one of my favorites.

Good Lord, I go away for a day to sing and I come back to an exploding inbox lol. It's Sanjay's coral, I just helped him take the pics. Twice a year, at the big spring & fall swaps in Ohio, as well as occasionally in PA, I help him trim his tank & take his frags to sell. That's the only way to get frags right now.
I'll see if I can get a side-shot the next time I see him.

Almost got this piece from Sanjay but decided not to at the last second. The reputation of the acro scared me lol
