Aquascene Icefire will always remain in my top five. Can be somewhat finicky.

Wowwwww.

@therman got a pic of your CC Hellboy colony?

@Coral Euphoria has the only colony pic anywhere online (and she’s a beauty!)

Hellboy is awesome I used to have a real nice colony of it

It's a piece I've been growing out for a few years now. It started as a tiny nub and is now finally starting to grow nicely!

It almost makes me wonder if ammonia dosing could be a future trend in coral propagation.

My favorite coral types all in one spot, great thread.

Mine are still small, hopefully with time I'll be able to get growth like some I see here.

BC Angelica - fingers crossed

BC Skinny Love

Age of Aquariums' Granulosa - mid body polyps have a nice light pink under bluer light

No Name mariculture frag off my LFS. I think it's got some potential though

RR Robin Hood. Just out of the dip. I came back across this thread looking for pictures of it. Looks pretty good under blues

I can get one. Honestly looks about the same, maybe less glowy.

What is the name of your first coral posted? I think I have the same but forgot the name.

I got a little mariculture frag in 2018 from my LFS. Grew it out, almost lost it and now it's back on the rebound
After it started to color '18

A little while before my transfer.

I had a reefer tell me it looked similar to his RRC Shazam. Maybe that's the piece you have?

Some gorgeous pieces! For those of us now convinced we want to try more smooth skin acros, where do people find them? They seem fairly difficult to come by?

Got this from LADD but lost it a tank crash.

Hello,
From my experience, many smoothies grow slow, and those who seem to collect them, often need a serious "nudge" to clip them, lol. Some, as Tim, aka @therman , indicates that certain ones just don't like being fragged. My collection is deep, and eventually will be on offer to locals, otherwise just for my enjoyment.
Most of my collection has come from @therman, but be prepared, they ain't cheap, lol @coral reeftank also is another phenomenal collector. Of course it goes without mentioning that @Battlecorals has a seriously epic collection! Adam, I will be in touch soon for a deepwater pack
My 2 cents
