therman's 12 year old SPS system...top down shot, starting to enjoy this tank again

[therman]

An update with an old photo *shaking head*. Looks like you fragged it often, I love how you can see all the pink polyps on the base.

Actually that was never fragged! It encrusted like that forever and then started popping branches. I had an alk swing while I was on vacation and and the whole thing went poof. I've regrown Pink Lemonade since then from frags into mini colonies, but thought that was a cool photo to share.

Can also see the green polyped purple "ROAB" digitata sneaking into the photo from the right side.

That was on a 4". Actually an older photo, had to start over but they are finally getting to that point again.

Mine is on a 3 but how u represent the colors are unmistakable

Therman at what par would your thermans rainbow Acro get its best coloration?

I’m finally getting more then two colors on it (again) and find my eye drawn to it more and more

What colors are you getting on it? I have mine pretty low in my tank and mine is getting 250-300 and the sandbed 37” away from my lights.

Mine is is 250 par
Almost neon green at the base that transforms to baby blue tips

Yeah around 250-300. I've never moved the colony, but its had its ups and downs in terms of coloration. It can get purple to pink on the radial corallites too.

Yep mine are purplish awesome

At its best what colors have you seen?

 

[therman]

About that...sometimes kind of a goldish in the older base past the green, but it is more of a glorified brown haha. To be clear I never named it a "rainbow"
so goldish, green, purple, blue...sometimes pinkish to the purple.

Who named it Adam?

How is your BC Dougs dad (13 other words) doing?

Yeah Adam named it.

Is Col. Ted Master's Doug's dad? lol I can't keep up with all the allusions. It is doing well, not a fast grower but I cut a backup that seems to be doing fine too and encrusting. I just noticed that blue in the base in spots is really incredible...like an angry sea out of a maritime legend ;P Seriously though it is a great coral, hope I can grow a decent colony out of it. The spot I fragged it does not seem to be popping new growth after healing which makes me a little nervous. The blue ghost is really blossoming too, seems to be hitting a decent stride as a modest colony and color keeps getting better.

Someone asked about the AV99 Raging Bull, here's an older photo of it in case anyone wants to see. This is an incredible coral when it is happy, with deep indigo color and polyps from green to red

 

[SecondCityCorals]

Me. I would like a frag of the Raging Bull. How big and encrusted of a frag can you get me?

Please save me one. I am also interested in:

ATL Christmas mirabilis:
Tyree Ultimate Blue Stag
Whatever this one is even though you said don't ask, you knew people were going to ask, I mean.....there is a lot of sexy in this thread what did you expect?: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/t...-to-enjoy-this-tank-again.467115/post-6488603

Almost lost this one, but managed to salvage a frag to re-grow.
