With the reefrAft pieces please be careful allot of people will say it's from RR but sometimes people lie. Just saying . If you have any questions for all of us let it be known . If your worried that it's not real from such and such person. Lineage is KEY with these pieces DOCUMENTS TELL IT ALL.

Good luck on your journey ! Great couple of frags you got posted up hope you find them all. !

Reefgardener.net has RR Orange Passion, but I believe it's Acropora Selago

I think Vivid Aquariums has some Tierra Del Fuego too.

Do a search on the rainbow delight. Almost no one has been able to duplicate the colors that vivids colony had shown in the original pics. I have tried many places in my tank for it. And it starts to get some nice color but never gets the great color for the price this piece commands. I know of some locals here that have the same issue

I agree with turbo21 I have vivids rainbow and I have moved it all around the tank and it will start to color up, then brown out, but I have never been able to duplicate the color from the pics I have seen.

Jason Fox told me the same thing. I crossed it off my list.

It needs low nutrients and a ton of par to get the white branches that offset the tips and polyps that make this such a nice acro.

Otherwise the branches stay greenish............still very nice but not quite the looker.

You can also buy Ultimates rainbow acro............it's the same coral at about half the price, but you're still gong to have the same issues.........it's a tough coral to color up.

Agree with you about vivid's being challenging to color up. They currently have something like 3 colonies in their display that are looking pretty nice. I have had ultimates rainbow and it seemed pretty easy to keep happy. vivid's rainbow also seems to have a pink dot on the branch tips that ultimates rainbow does not. Both of these corals continuously change color depending on tank conditions or perhaps just time but ultimates seems much less finicky. Just my thoughts.

Theres one labeled as a selago and one just labeled orange passion. Not sure of the different in species but the price and look are much different.

So no luck with the RR Wolverine huh? Anyone?........

The vivid likes to grow a big base before it gives you color. Mine took over 6 months to give me any color, but well worth it.

Agreed... I had mine for more than a year before it was any other color than brown. It was only because I got it direct from Jason Fox that I kept the faith.

As for the Tierra Del Fuego, there are 2 versions, and one does look a lot like red planet. The original importer, Oculus Aquatics started selling another version before they went out of business. (pers. communication with former employees)
