A few more. Many small frags still since I'm restocking after my aefw debacle last year.


BC Shaggy Del Fuego

BC Therman's Rainbow. It would be nice if this thing would start growing rather than just encrusting:

BC Hyperberry. I really beat this up in the first couple of weeks in my tank. It was knocked off my rockwork on two occasions and rolled around on my sandbed. It's recovering nicely.

I got this from a local reefer and he had forgotten what it was. It's probably something really nice because he has really expensive tastes in corals (@coralreeftank). Whatever this is, I like how it's coloring up.

Ultimate Rainbow Prostrata. This has colored up for me nicely.

Here's a few new frags I picked up from ReefDweller. All a little beat up from dipping and mounting:

Tyree Ice Fire Echinata. I broke off a couple of tips while mounting. It will have to recover and color up:

Copp's Eflo. I think my emperor might have tasted the tips:
P1250831.jpg


Reefdweller's Norther Lights.
P1250812.jpg


Reefdweller's Ultimate Tricolor
P1250762.jpg


Reefdweller's Raging Bull Robusta. I smashed the coralites a little while mounting. It will color up red with bush green polyps.

Just a few update pics. All of my frags are encrusting nicely:


BC Poor Man's Snipers. This has a rough go in the beginning. It was knocked off the rocks by one of my triggers and got pretty beat up. It's finally starting to color up and show some PE.
P1250939.jpg


RMF Raspberry Lemon aid
P1250933.jpg


BC Glowstick. This looked a little bleached out from being really high up on my rock work. I moved it down. We'll see if it turns green or not. May have to v=move it up higher?
P1250903.jpg


BC Blueberry Nausata. REALLY fast grower, but I have it shaded by a cross brace, so it isn't coloring up too well
P1250733.jpg


BC Red Robin. This bleached out when I first put it in my tank, but it has come around nicely.

Vivid's Rainbow. I had this before my AEFW issues and it colored up nicely. This one, not as much. It's from the same source too. I think it will come around. The last one took a while too.
P1250929.jpg


BC Hyperberry. It got beat up a little, but this coming around with great colors.
P1250899.jpg


BC Hellraiser. This thing bleached to almost white and it's coming around.
P1250889.jpg


PC Rainbow. It has actually put down a nice base you can't see from this angle.
P1250809.jpg


Larry King and Al Roker jockying for position for the best sleeping spot. They do this every night.

Took some pics tonight. Let's go all @Battlecorals on this update:


BC Blueberry Fields Austera. Fast grower for me. My emperor angel is particularly fond of clipping the tips on this one.
P1270637.jpg


BC Ranibow Rosaria. This has been a good grower for me.
P1270645.jpg



Therman's Rainbow. Encrust, Encrust, more encrusting!
P1270614.jpg


BC Sky Dopple. I know this looks crazy, like some effect from lighting, but this is about what this coral looks like. Maybe a little more powder blue, but the fluorescent yellow is there. Hard to photograph.
P1270829.jpg



BC Xmas. Love the iridescent yellow on this. Not much growth yet, but a bunch of encrusting. It grew quickly when I first got it, but has been dormant for a little while.
P1270735.jpg


BC Hellraiser. I have this pretty low in my tank. Colors are coming out though.
P1270719.jpg


BC Gary's Yellow. More like Gary's green in my tank. Looks cool though.
P1270670.jpg


BC Soda Pop Granny. This was/is a little nub. It was brown for a while, but is showing some color now. Excited for this one.
