RRC Rainbow Splice Milli...anyone growing it?

[TerraFerma]

My buddy has a small frag . I've never seen a pic of anything larger than a smallish mini colony? Anyone grown this out or is it too new? Curious what the color mix is when they grow out.

It’s pretty new but @SawCJack00 has it and it’s getting some size to it. Maybe he will post a pic.

It's pretty new, and most who have gotten it, ( I can probably count the number of people in the states who have it on my fingers) start to butcher it as soon as any growth tips appear so they can make money. I am growing it out and have not sold any frags yet. I did cut it up on 12/31/2019 to spur growth and get good even coloration to the colony. Here's the pictures so far. I hope to have a large enough colony to cut a peice or two for my next coral show which is in April.

The patient - post surgery I cut the 3 larger tips off and glued them around the base 12/31/2019:

The patient 1 week after surgery - you can see the cuts are healing nicely1/6/2020:

Thanks for sharing that! I am happy you glued them back on the colony instead of selling them, gotta give you props on that. I am curious to how it looks grown into a colony.

I am also very curious to see it as a colony. It really is a stunning piece!

I mean I think this is the mother colony - https://reefbuilders.com/2019/01/10/the-rainbow-splice-acropora-millepora-from-reef-raft-canada/# Right?

Yep that's it.

Any updates from anyone? This thing seems to grow slow for a milli

Not the fastest grower for sure but it’s still doing well for me

Figured I'd supply an update...

Looks great, Bill!

Do you find the pink comes and goes?

I purchased a frag a few days ago that’s healing up

Looks like the green is overtaking any red in the coral as it grows.

Currently have my second born on the market far sale to help raise funds for this coral. He likes my reef tank so he understands. Cute blonde if anybody is looking and free shipping.

 

[dadnjesse]

Cool coral. I just looked it up, only $2,000.00. I think my wife will understand.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Does Bill have the biggest colony of it?

Is he the only one not looking at $$ and allowing it to mature?

 

[infinite0180]

Im pretty sure A Reef Creation and The Coral Kings each have a piece they are growing out. Im lucky enough to be local to them. One of these days ill ask Randy where its hiding and get a look in person

 

[sabor]

Got a little frag of it. One of the brightest, if not the brightest stick I have in my tank. The colors are popping in daylight or blue light.

Purchased last month from RMF .. definitely brightest in the system .. this is one month in my system
