I think you just described any acro that costs more than 80$.

I feel like the more expensive a coral is the harder to keep it is.

Or it’s a birdsnest … took me forever to be able to keep them alive.

So true. And the pictures typically are deceptive because it doesn’t look like that most the time, or sometimes ever.

However. The pictures I posted, are unedited and the coral colors are exactly like this in person, no filters or glasses needed. It does look like this. It’s just that it only comes out in pitch black until early morning. Seller insists mother colony is open all day long and fully extended. Has provided photos as well. I believe them

I just really think this guy needs more time to grow, and I have all the patience in the world because I want this to be like the mother colony one day. I photo everything compulsively. Week by week this plug is getting encrusted more and more. The coral is healthy. I just think it has a process it’s going through and needs time. I’ll wait a year for this…

Looks like a laffy taffy. Is it?

It is similar, and I thought that at first, but it is not the same. It’s the closest I’ve found to It though

Possibly a variation. This coral was bought by the seller around 7 years ago

Very cool. Would love a frag. Do you have the seller’s information handy?

Sure. I’m not keeping any secrets I bought it from a seller on this forum

I would love someone else to get one and let me know how it behaves in their tank

Florida - Live Goods - UC Rainbow Madracis RARE

Hey fellow reefers, finally made some frags of the UC Rainbow Madracis. Acquired a frag of this a few years back direct from Ultra Corals. It is a super slow grower and I actually almost lost the colony a while back. The have feelers similar to a gonipora with super bright colors. Low placement...

In this series I have to laugh. My Foxy is photobombing all but one. These are mostly unretouched, with a quick touch of the magic wand.

Just grabbed these now

The green one is a Moseleya and it’s starting to get hints of yellow and a second polyp on the left

And the rainbow pita is grumpy because a snail is cleaning his shelf.

Hey that's not acro expensive. My most expensive acro was worth 300$ I bought it from a frend with 2 other low end ones for 100.
The nice one and one of the low end ones died. The low end one that died killed my favorite anenome.

I doubt I could keep it. My most expensive coral is a big wall hammer for 180. Then my tourch garden which I bought cheap for one head each and now I have 6 heads on one of them after 4 months.

The thing would probobly dissinagrate. I almost spent 140 on a big goni colony. But decided no.
