Me lol

This acro is such a pain in the butt. I gave up on it ages ago. Good luck to you all!

I just got the notification from Fedex saying it should be here tomorrow! I added five other corals, so I am excited!

We are going to need it but if somehow you do get it to color up, it sure is pretty!

Mine has gotten darker. It's only been a week and a half but I'm desperate to see some kind of change lol

Looks like it's doing well!

 

[RUNVS]

Mine has gotten darker as well and encrusted a bit more!

 

[bubbaque]

My wife noticed I was awake way before I normally am and asked "why are you up so early"? I told her I had to check fedex and see if my box made it through the FedEx hub. Woohoo, it made it! It's out for delivery!

My frag browned out a bit. It is entrusting though. Almost has the super glue completely encrusted.

As a side note, I noticed some rtn on a pink millepora frag this morning before work. Really has me worried. Not sure what caused it yet. I upped the flow from my mp40 yesterday. Put it back to how I had it this morning. I also did a 5 gallon water change before this started. Hope it just affects that one frag.

Hopefully it's nothing serious and you caught it before anything happens further.

I ended up buying 6 frags and they all seemed to have browned out besides the Aussie echinta I got. I'm sure they will color up.

Nice job so far from you guys, mine hasn't done anything after a week but then again its probably the smallest cut made lol

 

[Crimsonvice]

I should have mine tomorrow

 

[MTBake]

Here's mine after 2 weeks in the tank. Sorry for the phone pic. I really need to dig my camera out of storage.

Here's a side by side from day 1 to day 13. This frag is also a favorite perching point for my clown goby...I hope that doesn't impede growth. As you can see, starting to encrust over the glue, and darkened up a bit.

I've had some encrusting and darkening of color, also slightly more PE.
First pic is of 1/11 second picture is of 1/24.

I have mine placed under too much light. It’s about a year old. But it’s seriously encrusted so I can’t easily move it. Corals around it are doing outstanding.

 

[Mael]

my battle box came in today, just had enough time to go home and throw the bags in the sump to acclimate and Ill get to see them and take pics when Im home.

 

[Karl M]

My BattleBox arrived yesterday full of awesomeness, along with my contest Frag. Adam did an amazing job choosing my new gems. Shipping was a breeze, glad we waited.

@Crimsonvice I'm glad you decided to mount it horizontally. I'm very curious to see how it turns out!
