The green one on the left sadly lost most of its tissue so not sure if it will make it I'll post updates in a week or two

A brownie that was given to me by a buddy when I first got into reefing and had NO CLUE what I was doing. When I say brown, I mean brooooooooown... lol

Now that it's gotten the proper care, here's where I'm at with it now. It actually took me a while to find the brown pic as I never took a pic of it because I never thought it'd make it. So I had to zoom, crop, zoom, crop, to even find that one. But, makes me feel way better with what I've got now. The green acro on the top of the rock. Taken under UV lighting.

Let's see them under the lights!
I will I'm just slowly ramping up intensity .
I have them in a temp tank for now. Tomorrow I'll cut them for the plugs after a dip. And mount on new discs.
I'm also going to change a couple gallons a day from my display to try and keep some stability till they are ready. [emoji2]

Ok, I'll play along. I missed out on the sale some of the others came from but did happen across a couple "brownies"!
Here they are... in all their glory.

One looks promising, and one looks Pretty boring and brown. Both have tissue recession, and both could be a toss up as whether they live at all. But I figured what the heck, I've been watching this thread and decided to give them a shot. I'll post progression pics as long as they live, "good, bad, sad, or ugly".

Yea never toss a brownie until it's totally and completely toast. I've had entire colonies shed tissue til one tip was left. Kept that tip, and today it's already growing into a new colony. It's a long shot but never give up hope!
