That's good to know! You have a more recent picture of it or once it grew out more?

 

[mtraylor]

Unfortunately, no I do not. I broke my aquarium down to get rid of blue clove polyps. Its now been up and running a little over 4months. All my old corals I tore off and sold and traded into lfs. Took the rock and baked it in the sun for several months and one of the lfs repurposed it. I started aquarium over with dry rock. I bought a new frag of it from ASD several weeks ago. It really has no color and is the smallest coral I have ever gotten from ASD. At the moment I'm really under whelmed from the frag and color.

I have noticed that there are 2 types of corals now at ASD. The regular ASD where you get nice big frags and then there are other corals that seem to be taken at different facility or camera or something. That is where I got my new piece. Will not be buying anymore of those frags I dont believe. Anyway. Its barely like 2/8" inch right now, so it will be a while before I can see any color I guess. I may go back on the site and look for a regular ASD millie that is nice and big. They didn't have any when I was looking. It is by far one of my favorite corals to have.

Any local club members to grab from? Atlanta is saturated with them.

I already purchased a new frag. It's just tiny. It will take some time before I can see the polyps color I think. It's happy where it is. Its like a little fuzz ball. Just has absolutely no color. Will see if I can manage some type of pic tomorrow

Sorry, I got a lot of notifications at once and missed this thread. I have an ok amount of fish:

Very very large bannerfish
Medium mimic tang
2 medium/larger fairy wrasses
Small filefish
Smallish blue tang
Medium sailfin
2 smaller clowns

I feed a ton. I feed 3x per day. 2x pellets with the AFS and then a nice sized chunk of frozen in the evening. It is probably cause I adjusted my lights to be 100% (XR15/Kessil A360/XR30/Kessil A360/XR15), and I have a super large fast growing leather coral. Most of my corals grow fast... Except for the ones I want to (TGC cherry bomb and such). I'll get an updated FTS this evening. I got individual coral shots earlier, lol.

Initially when I dosed Nitrate didn't see much. Hence I have 19 fish in a 200g. My LPS grow like crazy but acro meh not so much. Not sure why after dosing so much Nitrate you have issues. I run a huge skimmer and a lot of chaeto. It took me a while to see nitrates if I don't dose it will zero out quick could cut run a skimmer only certain hours.

 

[Kasrift]

I do run pretty low nitrates. I found this one on the web and it is super similar in coloration. Most I've seen in person looks like @90's reefer@ colony though. I was just curious if anyone else had one that did this.

Mine looks like that. It's in 500 par high flow and still a frag, but growing quickly. Bought it directly from ASD since I'm local in San Diego.

 

[Acros]

Here is a frag I made recently. They like a lot of light. Very picky with the kind of light as well. They turn more green under Kessil/point source lights. Mine turned almost all green under Kessil ap9x. It colored back up once I switched to Radions. They had good colors under LED bars as well. The pic is under day light.

 

[Poseidon03]

I don't get the light pinks in it, but it has lightened up some. It is also an excellent grower for me. Midday picture, no filter and AB+ spectrum 10in down from Radion XR30 G3 at 100%.

 

[Troylee]

Mine keeps changing but has held this color longer than any so far..

 

[Tcook]

They are! I just recently bought a Apogee MQ-510 off a fellow reefer from this marketplace forum. I sent it in for calibration and just got it back. Definitely a fun and expensive toy.

Did they tell you is was reading incorrectly prior to calibration?

My ASD Rainbow Milli is mostly green. It’s a fast grower.
Par 350
Phos .05
Nitrate 2
LED/T5 Hybrid

[Poseidon03]

That's what I expected when I got the frag. How do you pull the oranges instead of reds?

 

[bobnicaragua]

Wow, doesn’t even look like the same coral I posted above! I just took my pic under whites with no filter. Does yours look like this in person?

That's galaxy s21 pro mode/orange filter under blues. There's no extra editing or anything. I have viparspectras so whites don't get ran. But yes..its bright and that color

Got any other colony pics? I’m curious if all your acros look that good.

 

[billyocean]

I'll pm you..don't want to take over the thread.

 

[Troylee]

It’s loving the halides…

Did I understand that correctly that you DONT ever run white light? wow
