No got a frag off some, do you think not fruity pebbles ?

Hard to tell at that size but that does not look like the typical TSA Fruity Pebbles.

It is Acropora cytherea.

@TopShelfAquatics Does this look like it could be one? Purchased locally from a friend who couldn’t recall the name, but that it did indeed have a hobby name. A few folks commented on its similarity to fruity pebbles.

So question, The base on mine that was encrusting use to be a bright green, now it is turning the reddish color. Is that a good sign? It looks amazing, polyp extension is great and there is growth. Just did not know if that is a sign of wanting more or less par. I read thru and seen where TSA hits with lots of light, as mine is around the 350 range.

@TopShelfAquatics I was looking to get one of these when my tank matures. How do you get it into a more tabling form instead of growing up?

How do I get proper colors out of mine? All other sps are top notch coloration. The three images are Fruity Pebbles, Bill Murray, and Carolina Reaper.

Specs:
300 par
NO3: 10
PO4: .15
Lighting: 2x blue plus, ReefLED 90 gen 1

I get phenomenal growth but color is as seen.

Never been able to color this coral up. Grew great, great shape and no color. 400PAR and high flow and it’s a gray blob.

My experience as well under reefled 90 lights, adding t5 didn’t help, there seems to be no way for me to get the color. I am suspecting it requires lower par in my system. It was originally in 350 par
