Anyone care to share their anacropora?

[motortrendz]

Heres a more recent pic of mine, had to move it to my frag tank for a bit.. I have the tnt anacropora next to it. It's a reddish orange. Nice piece. It's about the size of a baseball now.. sorry for the crappy pic.

 

[motortrendz]

Yea that’s what I have seen in others tanks, fast growth, hope the one I put in the corner of my tank grows slower in the low light.
How does everyone’s orange/red variant grow?

My red seems to be growing slower than my green but seems to be growing in the same tight pattern.

I'd love to find another color variant. Yellow or orange. But I was told that basically the yellow and green are the same, color depends on water conditions. Same with the orange/reds

Yea I like the orange one with the purple polyps I think rr had at some point.

I am hoping my orange one is not a forbesi but is a reticulata, at least they look better with lumpy “coralite” areas in pics. Which is the tnt anyone know?

I'm not sure. I have the tnt from fox.

I wish I could find the reef raft Canada red with green polyp and the “goldenrod” piece I was just talking about. Does anyone know someone who got frags of these that reefbuilders profiled?

You and me both lol and I've never even seen anyone on here showing them off either.

Yup, the goldenrod looks super nice. No one from Canada has heard anything about these?

A quick google search shows tck had it for sale at one point for about 450$ a frag.... although indent like paying alot for frags, I'd probably pay that for this, bc it grows super fast and since. Oone has it, i would make my money back pretty quick.

Higher light = dense growth. It will never encrust, so nail it down good with epoxy. It also begins to self-frag when it gets to around 4in lol.

My green slimeball did not encrust much but is getting very thick with not alot of vertical growth.

Surprised it encrusted at all. Mine still has the tiny nub of a base it did when I got it as a 1"frag.

It grew up when it was a small frag but it is about 10" from a 2500gph powerhead that pulses every 7 seconds.
Not direct flow but the powerhead is only about 3" above the top and 3" to the left.
Here is a pic I just took.

Here's a top shot of the orange version........for some reason my camera has a difficult time showing the orange color. It looks better in person. This came from Tony's colony.

Once it starts to grow it's very fast.

JFox calls it TNT and Cherry calls it Habanero

How long did it take to get that big?

motortrendz, thanks for the tip on tck selling it.

 

[najer]

My pink tip one in need of fragging due to stem recession, sandy gold polyps, I can't shoot it from the closer angle as some idiot placed an acro in the way!

 

[Graffiti Spot]

That piece has some green in it too? Looks mostly pink/orange from the pic. Green would be nice with the pink.

Here is mine...

I've got a green goblin started from 3 poor looking nubs. It's now almost 8 months old. You can see the progression of growth. I did find it grew but wasn't happy in higher flow. As you can see by the timeline once I got it to random medium flow it really took off. I've also got a 1/2" two piece frag of golden rod that's already taking off in same conditions. It's only bee in the tank about 2 weeks and it's nearly doubled in size.

 

[Aaronhome27]

I do have to mention mine has been trimmed often due to shading some of my other coral. That little guy under it is a bleeding Avenger I'm slowly waiting to color up and the anacropora is determined to kill it. It will send out a branch right for it every time I cut it off. It'll grow that one branch about an once in 2 to 3 weeks.

Here is a good before and after pic. Thought I deleted it.
5 months from pic 1 to pic 2.
You can see the encrusting.
Pic 3 is the mother colony in the lfs 500 gallon. Picture dose not due it justice as its huge.

here is mine. Have it growing in three places. It grows so fast.
