Success with Malaysian Acropora Speciosa

[Epic Aquaculture]

Just wondering if anyone has had success with some of the Malysian Acroprora Speciosa's that have come into the US over the last couple of years. Trade names such as SBB Half Baked, BK Chem Brain Freeze, BK Chem Jumanji, etc. I had a beautiful frag of Half Baked but it slowly wasted away. I just ordered a frag of Jumanji which should be here in February, and would like some tips from anyone who has had success with these types of Acros. Also post pics if you can!

Here was my Half Baked... RIP

Man, that's a beautiful acro... so sad it didn't make it.

What kind of nutrient levels are you keeping with these since I hear some with high and some with low.

 

[RussiReef]

My nutrients on a higher side. NO3 10-15 and PO4 .1+

Sorry to hear about your loses, Bill. I obtained my SBB Half Baked from Jason Fox in February 2020. Looked about same size as your frag. Mine has encrusted well but those wild sticks are always a roll of the dice.
