Perry's Shallow Water Acro Dominant Build Thread

Which reefbars do you have?

Hey Martin:
I am using SB Reefbar Blue 36" bars.
They are only running 50% now, they ate fairly strong.

Really digging my "Lulu's Blue" milli lately. In early October, I noticed a couple of branches beginning to shoot. 4 months later, 2 nice branches, one of which has 5-6 branches starting, so hopefully in 4 more months, I will see a mini-colony

Ah yes, the classic Perry's Rising Phoenix. Looks like she's trying to do a little Rainbow Splice impersonation there along the base. Start the bidding at $100 per polyp!

Yeah you noticed that freaky stripe too, it just keeps getting nicer, now some morphed white tips too, not necrosis lol.. I believe it morphed due to a near death scenario, whatever lineage it was, suffice to say its no longer the same coral, looks wise . I would love a species ID, maybe I can get @C. Eymann to stop by?

That stripe is pretty cool, I like how it has different color polyps in the stripe.

Thank you,
This coral is special to me, here it was shortly after I found it behind rock during a rescape, I chucked it to the back of the tank, as it was basically dead, and didn't want to look at it anymore, hence Scott's claimed naming Here it was in August 2020

When my grow out system is up and ready Perry, I would love to have a frag of the "phoenix"!

Believe it or not, I am only scared to cut because it may grow faster Luckily, I have a nice area for it to grow out. When I decide to cut down the road, I will put you in line, after Scott and I work out his claim at a complimentary cut Only drawback is shipping, I have sent shrooms, but not acros, YET
Cheers

Thinking it’s Red Planet. No matter how many new corals come in a take the spotlight this one still holds a top spot, imo.

I had a small colony a few years back that got patches of green in the tips, and the base had patches of solid red like yours but less vibrant being on a vertical wall. It’s a great piece to have.

Here is what is throwing me off. My old RP in a top down, bottom middle pic. But.... You very well may be right, it's not getting as much light as in previous tank. Thanks for looking in and offering a hand

 

[BranchingHammer]

I would have guessed red planet too, except the original branch structure of the frag looks almost like the species in pink lemonade. The branches are a bit finer at the tips, but I guess we'll find out what it truly looks like in the future. Regardless, would be honored to have it in my grow out eventually

Red planet was a tabling acro for me, back in the day. This turned into this

Here was my back up piece

Beautiful, why I still consider it one of the best. It’s definitely a piece with many faces in different conditions. I’m sure with time it will become more apparent what it is

Good eye
The original frag, before it's decline, looked like a raspberry nasuta. PL is a nasuta. Oddly, the frag was glued down as if it was always going to be a table, most people mount the cut branch standing vertical, not horizontal. I don't see this often anymore, likely due to industry standard frag sizes... hmmm...

Yes agreed, and every sps reef should have one

That is so nice!! Love the coloring. Do you still have this one?
