Yeah that piece is sick Shauno!!!

Thanks myzislow. It has really colored up since acquiring it 3 months ago.

Sweet! Did you get my PM?

Yes, got your pm and replied.

unlike most of the other stuff you see posted lately you can tell his coral is growing nicely in captivity. Looks great man, would love a frag of that.

It has grown probably 1/8"-1/4" in 3 months, which I consider fairly slooooooow. You'll be the next on my list when it comes time to frag it myzislow. Skinz78 will have the 1st frag of it.

Nice man! From the looks of it I would have guessed a lot that growth was from captive conditions. It looks to be settling in very nicely. LMK when you go to cut it again, I am def. down.

Sweet! how does it grow for you? In fact, how do all bottle brushes grow? They look better as colonies, which is why I am asking, LOL Nice coral!!!

Thanks anemonekeeper. Sorry, missed your reply. This one grows pretty slowly. I have a few others that grow much faster but they look nothing like this one. Generally the better a coral looks, the slower they grow. I agree that these bottlebrush corals look much better as colonies than frags.

That bottlebrush is the best looking one I have ever seen! Congratulations on obtaining an amazing acropora and successfully growing it!

Looks like turaki to me and it's very nice!

Not a bottle but very delicate and temperamental...

Nice echinata! I would most def consider it a bottle-brush acro.
