I got mine in a trade. Brandon offered, and I didn't refuse!That coral, while pretty, is out of my budget. The only frags of Walt Disney I own are 1 share / certificate and whatever souvenirs I get while visiting. Love the place.
I'm seeing a hint of blue on the axial polyp. Nice colony there!Mine is under 3 primes and tank is 36 inches and prob old Walt is getting less than 250 par and it took a year but it’s finally getting a little pink! Only really comes out right before lights out when it’s just Royal blue and just a hair of violet. I bet it would go crazy if I turned the lights up more but with a mixed reef it’s hard. Got some super sensitive Scolys and Goni/Alve on the bottom. It’s a balancing act for sure
Great photos! Thanks!Having acquired 3 pieces of it now, I’ve found it to just take time to develop its ideal color. I kept it under t5, metal halide, and as of a week now, led. I have witnessed it be More green dominant under lower par. Higher par and warmer kelvin will pull the more gold/purple colors. That has been my experience with it to date over the past few years.
this is mine grown primarily under 20,000k metal halides at about 400-500 par, BUT presently images under reef breeders photon v2 units, 60% blue/violet, 30% white, 5% red and green at about 250 par. Granted it’s been only a week. But this is what it looks like for me now given those conditions. Instant ocean salt. Regular water changes, 6-8 dkh , heavy heavy heavy flow. 0.03-0.1 ppm po4. Hope thst helps
Beautiful - thank you!
Mine is starting to take off, it was a rescue from a friend, so it’s been a long road.
Btw, this is under Kessil’s at 30% color and 100% violet. Intensity is 85% with a midday peak of 90%.
Thank you! I'm sure yours will color up nicely. I'm with JDA on these, I find them quite hardy, especially with the right conditions.
I would find a spot with higher par for long term success.
Thx for the advice. Lights only on %15 of its power I dont wanna turn it up as the tanks been running perfect for goin on 6months. My plan is to grab a few pieces of shelf rock combined with rock from the sump and create some nice mid level acro shelves. About halfway up the tank par's 220 minimum. That should make the sticks on my list a good home.
No, ReeFi Duo Extremes. Or were, the tort and Walt Disney perished (among others) during the tropical storm and its aftermath.
