Never heard of one until today! Is it mostly blue or purple? Hard to tell from the pic.

Fast growers!

Looks like a typical acropora nana or validia, that coral grew really fast for me so I gave the colony to the local fish store. It wasn't jasons lineage but I don't think lineage matters much with these. Some may be more brown in the base color, but those look amazing under really high light when the branches turn white or a light tan color. Anyone have more pics of bigger colonies?

I got one from Jason. Just starting a growth spurt, it looks like a valida without the green polyps and it’s an insane blue/ purple. A looker for sure!

got mine from Jason about 4 months ago , its been growing pretty quickly. see the Valida to the left theve both morphed into almost identical colors , but the base on my Barney is way Bluer .

My Barney’s base is almost a lime green

JFox Barney is underrated. It's different than other validas/secales as the branches are the same purple as Barney the dinosaour. The color is a majenta versus the common purple that is normally seen in these type of corals.

Does it grow as fast as the others? In my area that coral was given away so often no one wanted it, but it had the brownish base color. I would love to see some more pics if anyone has any.

Wow, nice colony! I see it is a little different now, its solid purple kind of like a bonsai.
