BC Angelica. Picture was taken in 2020. Colony is much larger now

The one guy that can grow this thing!
I cut 2 frags off mine over a year ago and it’s been a dormant blob since.

Garry is an amazing grower. Mine has remained dormant for years too.

This one looks to be a winner when it grows out. BC Set for Stun or Skinny Love? I have both. This is the first to sprout new growth.

Lumenarc III reflectors, Ice Cap electronic ballasts and Hamilton 14k metal halide lights for the grow-out system.

Thank you. If I can grow it, any one can, with a little help from the Coral God
BTW one of the slowest growers in my tank

Thank you for the compliment Tim!
Just learning from the best in the hobby.
Patience is the key, remember?

I do have this one I just took a couple of days ago when photographing something else. It has taken FOREVER to reach this point. Not a great shot and the colors are a little skewed as the lights were pretty blue heavy when I took it making the green blow up when white balanced:

What exactly classified as a smooth skin acro? I have been seeing all types of acros on this thread.

It is not a technical term. Basically any Acropora with relatively widely spaced corallites and a generally smoother than average coenosteum.

Whoa interesting! Is the lavender pretty accurate?

No, that’s an artifact of the blue lighting. The new growth is white.

RMF Red Gecko gets a lavender/bluish tint to the new growth. That is another one I am overdue to photograph.
