Green slime acro color

[alex77619]

Hi all I purchased this green slime from aquarium depot 8 month ago

And here’s a pic from wwc what a green slime acro look like.

After having this green slime acro for 8 month it had slowly grown in to a small colony
This is when I first got him.

Today it looks like this

Is it normal for it to start getting purple?
Or is it something wrong with my system?
Too much light? Too little light or even too low nutrient?

This is another acro next to it and it does look normal and happy

Tank is 120 gal with 30 gal sump. Running Ca reactor and 2 Radion gen3 pro with AB+, with an refugium in sump

0 Nitrate
0 phosphate
Kh 9
Ca 480
Mg 1500
Ph 8.4

Defiantly not a green slimmer and nothing seems wrong, coral looks good!

So that means they gave sth else? Than I don’t know what it is ha.

Yeah, definitely not a Slimer. Looks like it could be Acropora Nana

Don’t they look beautiful and sexy until you get them home . LOL I left the store with a 10 and came home with a 2

Yea could be a nana or secale.

Looks similar to this guy I bought as a little brown nub for 4 bucks a few years back. Pretty cool. No idea what it is but looks very similar to yours.

Looks like they gave you the wrong acro lol. That’s funny, it looks cool though!

Yea from everybody’s thought I now think mine is a different acro lol

But mine still have a green body hmm so interesting

I think what you got is better than a slimer.

Good upgrade!

8 months and it turned into that colony already? That aint slow! Lol. Anyway, like other pointed out it is not a green slimer, it is something else nicer.

Mine used to be more green. Now it just is in spots. Mostly purple and in some spots with tons of light it's so purple it almost looks blue. Pretty cool. Not saying it's the same but just looks very similar to how mine did. Awesome!

Yea it’s even fighting other acro, I didn’t know it grow than fast...

Definitely! Probably would cost a lot more then a slimmer too.

It’s going to take off soon. Some acro’s encrust a lot before they grow out. It’s about to be a good sized colony!!!

Hey, one thing you and I both agree on, ha?
