Ha, far from it. I’m actually battling a pretty nasty Chrysophytes outbreak right now. I haven’t read any literature about them having an affect on Acropora, but ever since this outbreak I’m starting to lose color and see slowed growth in this tank. Could be coincidental.

looking good man!
My friend got some stuff and Im not sure if its tenuis or what ever.. im a bit worried though as he said some colonies died.

any idea?

and here some other stuff visible

I haven’t been keeping up this last year, have any new areas opened up for export of mariculture or wild yet, for acropora?

I believe Oman is open for coral collection however they may be open more so for the Softies (We’ve had many more variants of leathers come in recently). We’ve also had an influx of brand new fish into the hobby due to Oman.

Not mariculture by any means, but here’s how I started my Friday!

If it wasn’t such a high price tag, I’d be stealing that and putting it into my reef. It’s a beauty!

Yeah, that’s a bit high of a price. Almost looks like a milli/spathulata mix.

 

[chipchipbro]

unfortunately very high price tag.. otherwise I would pull the trigger

 

[asydabass]

Oh it’s $250 for the whole piece? Not just a frag. That high but not too terrible.

OFC MAN.. its the whole piece not too sure.. theres others available.. but this one is very special

4ftx2ftx16” labeled as an 80 gallon

If that's for the whole piece then that's not too bad. A frag, that'd be a pass for me. I paid near that for my last browned out mari mini colony though... so calibrate my response to that, hahaah. It's starting to look pretty nice though and seems to be a fast settler/grower. I'll share a picture once it gains some better color in the daylight.

Here is that piece I felt looked like that orange millepora/spath you shared @chipchipmofo . Might be different, had a cool small branched growth structure for a millie type. Looked awesome under blues

 

[chipchipbro]

theres also a pretty good sized Tenuis colony available for 190 bucks..

not sure how maricultured tenuis do in tanks.. and idea @Smite ?
