SPS - Eye Candy

Looks like an abrotanoides. Most I see just has pink on the growing tips but yours has it on the whole body. Nice piece.

That's a sweet coral you got there!

That's a tough acro for sure. Worth it if it makes it, sadly many don't. I haven't noticed much difference between the wild and the maricultures.

Best of luck with it!

Thanks everyone-I am pretty anal about husbandry and have about 60-90x turn over within the tank depending on where the Vortechs and Tunzes are in their cycle. I'll do my best and treat it well:bigsmile:

We will have to see how it likes LEDs too since that is what lights my tank.

I was blown away when the shop owner said someone else was considering it, I had to make it easy for them

"you snooze you loose"

LOL

I call this my pink dahlia. I have had it for a little over a year now and still don't know what type of acro it is. Any ideas?

 

[Nuocmam]

Very nice Nick! How long have you had it?

 

[Nicks387]

Thank you. I have had it for about a year and a half now. A local reefing friend of mine had it before that. When he broke down his 360 gallon tank due to a divorce he gave it to me. He gave me the colony and I promised to give him back a nice piece of it if he ever got back in the hobby. I didn't ask him where he got it from and we have lost touch since I really only knew him from the local club. When he gave it to me it was stressed and faded since he had let the tank go and I wasn't that impressed. A couple of months later it kept getting nicer and nicer, and now its a favorite of mine. I wish I had asked him more details about the piece when I got it.

That sure is nice. I love getting corals that are browned out and end up being amazing later on.

Just kidding. That one in the middle is stunning.

The box you are getting tomorrow will add some color to your life,lol.Your corals look great and very happy.The abrotanoides in the photo is the colony one of your pieces came from.

 

[Nicks387]

That makes me very happy to hear. I had no doubt by the way, I checked out your lengthy tank thread on the other site and was very impressed.

 

[Troylee]

Sheesh I feel like locking this thread... Haha nice pieces fellas...:tongue:

 

[Sbrob]

I love the blue you have gotten out of your corals!

Tyree/Joe's Rainbow Acro. I tried to get as much T5 blue out as I could because it's hard to see the yellow in the photo. The mostly retracted polyps are two-toned (red/yellow) or fluorescent green. I bet it would look really nice grown out in Dan's tank :)

I have abro envy, Dan.

The prostrata continues to get out of control, and the OT has hit the surface...time to think about restructuring the reef a bit :( % %
