I've had this spath since well before I should have had acros. The growth is slow but it has colored up crazy

Usually the spath are very slow, Red Matrix I have had for over three years

Okay I did that. Got 3 little nubs off it. This would be the first time I’ve ever seen something RTN like that. I was assuming it was just something that happened due to shipping stress every once in awhile. I would think if it was too much flow or something, it would’ve started from the top. Will do some water tests real quick though.
Everything looks normal on tests

Did you do Flux RX or Reef Flux?
Blue Vet Reef Flux. Seems that was the consensus on what was safe. I didn't even full dose, but it was like 'nope'. It's ok, carboned and two weeks out from that and I think the frag will survive. I already archived it in my phone app, but I think I can save it.

That's nice!
Here's the other and it grows relatively fast but colors not as vibrant

nice i have one more like the first you posted but most of it died during a power outage and all it has done since is encrust. I have a couple small ones that are traditionally slow, but have one some say is a spath but i'm definitely not sure, the rising reefs blue flame, it is a fast grower for me, of course maybe that means it isn't a spath.

SBB "Gold Pool" HG Torch.
Aggressive son of a gun. I had a Goni in front of it that it was doing a “reach out and touch someone” imitation with one of its sweepers . Was only temp home for the Goni, but had to move it sooner than I planned.

sounds like it. though i think you keep your nutrients higher than i do if i remember right from when you posted your test results.
Yeah..I try to be around .08 or up in po4 and 14+ n03. It's not even really for a target number as much as to provide a cushion from bottoming out.

Any thoughts about the Dinos I am having? I suppose the debate on whether Dinos consumed all the nutrients vs Dinos show up when nutrients are low has me thinking now. It does appear to be Dinos but my nutrients are still pretty high and have never bottomed out. Could be maybe just newer tank/rock stability issues, or no corralline/competing algaes present. I haven’t seen any of my numbers fluctuate much anywhere. Alk, Cal, Mag, Phos, NO3, PH have all been in the same general range for months.
