Yup never seen any with pink at all and this thing should be mostly pink with bright yellow tips. Hopefully it makes it, wasnt cheap lol

It's similar to a Pink Cadillac but in a Speciosa.

Don't say that, especially with the high price tag he paid! On a serious note, the Pink Cadillac is more of a pink base/skin and purple polyps.

I'm saying color scheme... Speciosa is better than Pink Cadillac. I like my Pink Cadillac though...

Pink Cadillac is nice. It used to be expensive too. I remember when I spent $75 for a nub about the size of just the tip of your frag above...maybe 3-rows of coralites down. It grows super fast and is hardy, which is probably what drove the price down so far.

Man.. I got this, a frag twice this size of Acroberry, a smallish frag of Raindrops on Roses, and a frag of ROAB Digi plus shipping for $100 from BattleCorals.

Yeah Adams a cool guy, probably the only other vendor I'd buy from these days unless I'm looking for something super specific.

Aquarium arts just got a bunch of chunky acro colonies (mariculture) and they actually weren't too bad price wise. I wonder what they would color up like .. pretty tempting but worried about pests

And the Speciosa has visible polyps which is nice.

Checkout how expensive Pink Cadillac used to be, 6-years ago. Now the prices are super cheap everywhere. Same kind of thing happened with the Red Dragon. Both are fast growing and hardy.

SPS--RR USA, RR Canada plus other beauties

I have trimmed to make some frags available. Some of the frags are chunky and encrusted and some are small, the pictures should make it clear which is which. Most frags have been cut for many weeks as you can tell by the encrusting but some are fresher and you can probably tell by the color of...

Crazy to see prices change over the years. Feel like some always have the same price and others just tank
