Sharing this growth with what's turning out to be one of my favorite acro's. It's a really fast grower for me and has very nice colors (crappy iPhone photo attached)

I also picked up one from wwc. I get no pE on it though it. It has grown some since I got it in their live sale a couple months ago. Do you get PE on your yellow tips?

I don’t get PE on tips either. I wouldn’t sweat it.

I will have to look at it at night then. Does anyone else want to share a pick of their yellow tips? Mine is just a 1 1/2" twig.

Very nice. Looks like a better than average looking acro.

I get nice polyp extension throughout the day; the polyps are a gorgeous blue. Really excited to see this one grow out.

Yellow-Tip Austera is a great, underrated coral. It is easy to care for and gets quite impressive as it grows into a colony. It also needs no tricky lights or photoshop to look good - this one looks good in the tank. If introduced today, I would opine that this would be a $500 booger-sized frag for a while. The WWC one is very nice. There is an old-school similar coral called the Westside Tort that gets a bit yellower of a body that is also nice. Neither are expensive and both do well.
