The Grandaddy of all PC Rainbow Acros!

[Acros]

Mine is starting to get that blue outer encrusting edge.

mines starting to get ugly, I thought it was in lower light but I think it was higher than I thought and I have low nutrients, im not 100% sure it likes this spot, it's the only piece I have so I don't want to move it in case it goes on me, the original frag colored up great and looked good, I think I light stressed it, and it just hasn't been able to have a strong come back with the low nutrients.

It's a cool coral if I could get it to look right in my tank.

The more my PC Rainbow grows the more I love it. It colors up incredibly. Mine is 2 to 4 inches below water surface, under Reefi Uno 2 Pro lighting.

Oh yeah that is good! What kind of numbers you runnin

It grew like weed under GNC BluRay M-Pro for 13 months with about 450-500 PAR (measured at water surface level, using iPhone's Photone app just to get rough ideas). I started using Uno 2 about 3 weeks ago with 600-650 PAR.

It looks good! I’m not sure what spectrum of lighting you’re running, but I have always gotten the best out of this coral by giving it some full spectrum lighting during the day.

I have it in full spectrum (kessils 360s and ai primes along with some t5) I hit some 0 low nutrients and had the lights to intense I believe..

I am running .02-.04 p04 and maybe 5-8max n03 but I turned the lights down a few months ago and have seen improvement. The new growth has just been a little pale.

That's of my pieced together colony after some tough times, one of the prettiest and toughest acros out there.

Incredible! One of the nicest renditions of the coral that I have yet to see. We’ll done.

Thanks man, it was the first acro I could get to grow and is still the original I bought from an lfs about 6 years ago.

 

[OrionN]

Wow. That is a Rainbow. I love to get a piece. Will start looking.

 

[McPuff]

When you have a frag available, please let me know. Your frags are always A+

Thanks! If you're still looking for one, I have a few really nice frags of Superman right now. Will definitely put one aside for you.

Any idea to why mine glows green? Could it be low par? Or is this normal?

Much better colors now. Really happy with how this piece is turning out.

Base is normally green like yours as it’s growing out..

Anyone else care to share some images of their PC Rainbow?

This coral is in the very back of my tank and it's hard to get a good image of it.
