Vivid Aquarium Confetti Acro

[BlennyKravitz]

I got mine from them about three months ago and it's encrusting very nicely. Seems to be hardy.

Back right is the confetti.

That's a WD in front and an AquaSD rainbow Millie next to it.

The mother colony at Vivid is stunning. I was drawn to it immediately.

Thanks for sharing a picture of it! It looks great!

This is an insanely beautiful coral, and the price for a smidgeon size is insane as well. Tough to justify the ridiculous prices of some of the corals out there these days, especially Acros when many are so delicate. Perhaps at some point common sense will rule again and fair pricing practices will return to the market.

Daaaang! Yours has amazing color so far.

I see the seller post on Facebook that if you put it in high light it will turn all pink.

 

[BlennyKravitz]

I have mine in moderate light moderate flow and it's 50/50 pink and green. Growing like mad.

I have some gel filters coming next week so I'll take some Walt Disney style actinic pictures for those that like that stuff.

Try the Snapseed app on your iPhone if you have one. You don't need no stinking gels.

Simply take a photo and open in snapseed. Go to "tune image" and jack up the warmth setting to around 50. Same results as an orange gel.

Ok, as promised...Here is a picture of my Confetti under T5+LED. I acquired it from Vivid Aquariums back in May 2017. It has turned really pink with a green rim around the edges. It is growing fast by rapidly encrusting! :)

Tried an orange filter tonight. Helped under the actinics. Confetti is on the left.

That's a beauty for sure!

What's the consensus so far on this acropora? Is coloring as expected? It's great to see some have purchased it at a great price. Now it's upwards of $400.
But has anyone honestly colored it as the first pics that were taken that caused all the hype?

I'd say too early to tell but unlike the WD, this one looks great under regular lighting too for me.

Here's a white light picture shared on Facebook. It obviously has a little extra juice on the saturation button but you can at least tell it looks good under whites as well.

Juice removed... Still looks pretty amazing to me.

Here's a picture someone shared with me when he was at Vivid and took this shot. You can still see the transition from green to orange to red... Amazing!
