~~Cornbred Maleficent Acro show off/Progression thread~

gregoryleonard · Feb 9, 2015

Just purchased the Cornbred Maleficent Acro and I am wanting to know if anyone else has a frag? Please post your pics of your frag here. Here is mine (CB's pic) I will take a pic under my lighting (T5) and post it here as well. Let's see them!

Please do. I have only seen 1 pic of someone's actual frag, but they did not get it from Cornbred directly. I would like to see a few more home pics with a description on the type of lighting they are under.

I cant spell. It is growing but, it is not as bright as when I received it. I need to find out how WWC gets so much color out of corals.

So, my CB Maleficent Acro arrived today in great shape. Here are a few pics I took this eve, keeping it under 8 x 54watt T5 lighting and using Triton 4 part dosing. 1st pic is from CB's posting and the next ones are mine. I can't Capture the exact coloration with my camera, but in person there is definitely some orange along with reds and different greens. Overall I am please with the representation of the piece. Last pic is with a WWC Yellow Canary that is nice too.

I was wondering who I was bidding against :smash:

Nice piece; hope she colors up for you!

That coral looks a lot like the christmas mirabilis. Nice

Yeah actually full color now. Looks amazing.
Fastest turnaround yet. Really just needs blues of some sort and wysiwyg. Not a daylight 14k kind of coral.

Looks like everyone's frag is healthy. I look forward to see growth shots of the Maleficent. Maybe it will color up over time. I've seen this coral in person a handful of times and yet to see any bright colors. All the frags were green and red but lacked bright colors.
