The history of Tony's Cookie Monster

[Graffiti Spot]

Where is the update on this piece man??? Love this coral.

Oh, sweet . Enjoy it.

Good morning, Was curious if you still have the cookie monster and could spare a frag? $$.

If you go to yesterday’s live sale, they may still have one. I bought mine after the sale. FYI.

Gorgeous acro +1 would like an update!

Here's a new photo of a new colony of it in Sanjay's tank.

I would love to see an update on sanjays piece too.

 

[tnyr5]

Sadly, Sanjay's colony is no more. Mine never seems to get bigger, not because it doesn't grow, but because every time it puts on an inch, I get bugged for a frag lol.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Don’t frag it! That’s what happened to John c he told me it shut down growth after he dragged it for a bunch of people and I haven’t been back to see if it’s started growing good again or not. His isn’t the exact lineage but I would guess his azure is the same coral.

 

[tnyr5]

They're very close. Def the same species. Mine doesn't shut down when fragged, though.

Beautiful stag, blue hokies used to be pretty popular back in the early to mid 2000s, but I hardly, if ever, see them come in anymore! for a stag they are a bit more finnicky than others.
This one is definitely the best colored one I have seen, usually they are more dull bluish-aqua green.

Makes me wonder why. Surely Tenuis isn't the only acro people are after?

Well they do tend to be a slower growing, less common species, making it not very suitable for mariculture? also wild collection of it might be more limited, last time I saw a hokie come in on a shipment was 2011 or so.

username checks out, lol

I used to be in the same boat, still sorta do get frustrated when either the same coral has 3 different names or 3 different names for the same coral.
WWCs cookie monster is sarmentosa, where as this is A. hoekesemai, gonzo's cookie monster is thought to be A. donei.
