HomeWrecker under normal lighting?

[Peng]

Most JF homewrecker pictures online are taken under actinic lights. Can someone share photos of HW under full lighting? Planning to buy this coral but I want to make sure it looks nice under normal lighting. Thanks!

Very interested in seeing one under 12-15k as well.

I have one I scored from WWC a few weeks ago but don't have a picture handy at the moment. Although I don't run 12-15k lights, under 400 watt Radium MHs @ 500 par (crisp white with a blue tint in case you have not seen them) it presents most of the colors you would expect. Hints of purpleish pink, blues, greens etc. Nothing like the absurd oversaturated LED pictures you see. I just found this image from Top Shelf and I think its a pretty good representation though obviously it has a little LED influence. Not far from my little frag though.

Just got this today. It's under 14k at bottom of tank. May not be necessarily what you're looking for since it's brand new in my tank.

Exactly how mine looked at first. After two weeks I noticed it had grown over the plug a bit more and started to pick up some of the other colors. I'm hopeful that its a fast grower.

This Homewrecker frag has since been mounted to the rock but, I'm still waiting for the colors to come out.

Where did you originally get the frag from? The structure of the coral looks off to me

How much is a frag going for now a day? I would be pretty sad if I paid $1k for what you guys posted. Just sayin

Hopefully those prices will come down?
It's a A. tenuis after all, which are relatively hardy and easy to keep.

Pretty sure JF is still selling these at shows in the $800-1000 range.

Whoooh! Still over 20x too rich for my blood.

Likely started as a nub that incrusted the plug first and is starting to branch. I have a lot of frags like that

$699-1000

Oh boy here we go again. Yes it's simply an A. tenuis, and good luck finding an image of 12-14,000k that looks anything like the product pictures. It's essentially the new Walt Disney.

600 - 700. WD dropped to 200 - 250 lately.

his recent sale put them about 699 I think.

That's what's been bothering me. I really like the colors of this coral but I don't look at my tank under actinic, and top-down... So that's why I posted it here... With the budget I can get HW or I can get a couple of very nice wild colonies.

Thank you everyone for sharing the pics

to be honest though, even in Top Aq's picture I don't really see the 800ish dollar in it...
