There is a part of me that knows there is still more to this one. Perhaps that is why I have waited so long to shoot it. I believe that there is not only deeper but more color wanting to come through that i have not managed to pull, but alas..... like the bird that is ready to be pushed from the nest, the size of the this thing has finally demanded that it goes up on the site.

Truth is I have actually been fragging this thing for years now. Seems like its been around all of four maybe even five since I got my first nub in a trade. I don't remember the details of the story on how this one got its name but it was kind of funny in a nerdy way if i can recall anything.


Been looking at this thing for ages. With a little hesitation I figured it was time to put it on the site. Because like i said, i do think there is something this thing wants that i am not giving it to really be in its glory. I mean it is pretty but it's full potential is not being realized for me yet. So here he is.

The original Miyagi Tort

this thing has been under it all at one point or another. most of its life was spend under 65k iwasakis, then about 6 months under LED and most recently t5 for the last 6 months again.
 
Adam, you shouldn't tease these folks, only so many frags to go around. You'll just have to sell me the whole thing :wink:
 
Hey Adam,

A couple of those tips have some "bumpiness" to them.

Do you have any idea what this is? A few of our colonies show something similar.

Thanks!

Wow!! Which fixture gave you the most growth , and what kind of bulbs do u run ?
 
Here is a pic of my Miyagi Tort. I got mine from Reef Pets. It is still recovering some of its color from me moving it and changing chemistry and also lighting soooooo what I'm saying is it has better color than what you see here.

idk how to make the image bigger... but it looked better before i uploaded it.
 
nice i have a couple frags in another tank that have more green as well. looks way better/ not sure why this one is lacking but thats kind of what i was getting at in the first post. It has way more potential than what mine looks like right now. lol Thanks for sharing.

as for growth of course the 65ks are grow powerhouses!
