Great looking piece. That shot is too cool. What did you use to light it from the side with?

Blue Acropora humilis that’s been In the hobby at least 20 years. The light and dark striations on the coralites are blowing my mind!

should I pull the trigger for 60 bucks? dang!

Yes.
A yellow fish would contrast with this so nicely!

Stunning piece and great photos!

Looks like this random frag score I grew out over a few years. I almost lost it but it's starting to make a comeback. Pictured under 14k. I'd say worth 60 any day. If it's the same its a great grower as well

The Rev is a handsome fellow and all but this acro is a tough comparable.

In terms of personality though, hands down with @revhtree.

Just a couple shots I took with my new top down viewer. Used a 20k filter on my iPhone 11

Similar to the picture you posted. My picture timeline got messed up so I'm struggling to find a good picture of the whole colony.

Here is a macro under XHO through an orange filter, so saturated unless you got the shades on. That blue is mostly new growth so whiter under day, reflects blue at night. From a non macro shot looking straight on it was very bright and red under the XHO. I spread it around locally when people bought other pieces from me and more times then not they'd hit me up about it once they saw it under bluer LED schedules. It's a cool piece for sure. Kind of tables out but not super tight.

Here we go, this wasn't at it's max but it gives an idea. If its the same type piece plan for it to mat out until it runs out of room. This basically looked like a monti until it reached the edge, then sent up branches all round and was an instant small colony. What attracted me to this piece was a faint hint of blue around the encrusting edge. Its more noticeable in person, pretty unique looking.

Here's all I have left hanging on, basically everything that was off the overhang. This is under t5 now but soon to be back to halide.

when it first colored up July 2019 as a frag under xr30 g3 Pro

Well yes could be an option, but they seem to look very similiar, or nah?
Maybe better to grab another colored one :P

I say keep looking and then take a wheel, put all of the names of the coral on there and randomise which one to get :)

That first one is fire, you should definitely get that one though.

Some non-filtered morning love from the reef :)
P.S. I will be keeping an eye on the tortuosa to make sure it’s just early morning and not any PE issues.
