This was my favorite acro in the WHOLE entire world. Im no acro expert so I don't know what type it is so if someone could chime in I'd really appreciate it. I have never seen another with this structure for sale. I got it from liveaquaria for 120 and it looked just like strawberry shortcake. Lost it to rtn 4 weeks after I bought it

Wow that sucks, but that crazy that u got a coral that big for 120. I have picked up lrg frags that were close to that much...
I wish I would of kept pics of the stuff I lost. For some reason I am unable to keep red planet...
Yeah it was awesome. And check out liveaquarias diversden. They get in colonies that are like 250 max and they are huge, obviosly wild however but they are kept for awhile before they are put up and dont feel bad red planet isnt my friend either haha

Sorry for your loss. It's a very pH sensitive acro. Do you have a picture?

Hurricane or not, I'd be stripping my stuff out like ASAP. If evacuated 1st out would be my cats, then my tank...I know that must have been so hard knowing that your tank was just left

Yea it was tough. I got my cats out and didn't really have any other option than to leave the tank and its contents. I did not expect that I wouldn't be allowed to return for 9 days. At least my home was sparred and the people I care about were safe.

That is a mixed pile of acros and milias it is some pricy lesson I learned buying corals that weren't healthy to begin with.

Large Hawkins Echinata colony grown from a 1" frag for about 2 years
Large colony of purple rim green cap grew from 1"
Mini colonies of:
Oregon Blue Tort
Metallic Blue Mille
Bubble Gum Millie
Sunset Millie
Rainbow Mille
Strawberry Fields Cap
Purple Monster
Strawberry Shortcake
Undata
Jedi Mind Tricks
Rainbow Nasuta
Raspberry Nasuta
many more frags of mid/high end SPS that I started to grow out.

That's scary, sorry to hear that. Did you lose them all at once?
