TSA Zombieland Acropora

[SaltySteve]

Hello, just wondering if anyone has kept the sps (Acropora) "Zombieland" from Top Shelf Aquatics (TSA). I just scored a frag and am excited.. would love to see or hear about anyone's experience keeping it.
Thanks!

The pic looks cool, but what color is the base in regular light is what I am wondering, green?

The smaller frags look to have a lot of green for sure. I'll try to take a pic when I get it this Thursday.

Looks just as pretty in person.

Reviving this thread… I have the Zombieland, and it is really awesome. I don’t have quite as much of that gold as in TSA’s pic… it is there on mine, just much subtler.

Still a beautiful piece

Put me on the list for a piece please! Thank you! Very nice piece, I wonder if the color morph will change in other reefers tanks

Wow, gorgeous! @TopShelfAquatics What kind of PAR are you guys giving this thing? I don’t have any light coloring on mine at all...

It is pretty far down in the tank so if i had to guess roughly 150-250.

Oh wow, maybe that’s why mine is so much darker?!. I have it in about 375....

Give it time. Once it grows to a colony you should see some different colors.

I hope everyone is having a good Thursday! I wanted to share a close up photo of part of my colony. This is turning out to be a really nice coral. It has turned out to be a hardy coral and a fairly quick grower too. Photo is taken under a 250 watt radium bulb with reefbrite and t5 supplements. I see more of the green and yellow (ish) color more in the shaded areas.

Very nice looking colony shot there! I wish mine had that much variation in color. What kinda par are you hitting it with?

Thanks! The par is around 350. This started as a tiny little nub, and the color transitions really started to come in when it started growing multiple larger branches. It seems like the newer growth is purple/blue and the new growth then transitions into the creamy yellow/green it ages and newer branches start to shoot off them. Then it seems to develop a nice green sheen on the inner parts as branches start to shade parts of the coral that are underneath it.
