Vendor Mishap -- Is this a TSA Daydream?

[Rakie]

Vendor mixed up frags, he's "pretty sure" this is a TSA daydream, it's a beauty regardless but what do you guys think?

Yep! The bubble algae all grew in at once when I switched to real reef rock. it's cleared up a lot, which also says a lot about how bad it truly was.. I'm getting new rockwork ready for a full swap.


Yes, lots of Asterinas, the only thing they eat is coraline.


That acro glows under any lighting. If it's not actually a daydream it's similar.

Oh I'm sorry; I thought it was a photo of the Vendor's tank, not yours. I wouldn't have said that otherwise. My bad ;Facepalm

oh I don't care lol! it's been a nightmare trying to get rid of it. Vibrant gave dinos, fluconazole (ReefHD) melted a few SPS colonies.. Emeralds are doing wonders but frankly I'm so tired of it I'm just replacing the rockwork. I'm just glad it's the kind of algae that is visually annoying vs dangerous to corals.

Sorry I can’t help you there but awesome looking acro no the less!

I actually wanted to ask YOU a question if you don’t mind: I have the exact same acro as you have and I was wondering if you knew the name of it?

We label all our frags so I'm fairly certain this mixup wasn't from us, maybe a third party?
Sidenote, gotta update our build thread... I think I got something in there you might like!

You do have something I love, that Bioshock is off the chart HOT, just not willing to pay the money yet until I know my tank is ready to keep those colors.

Third party, he had a wild piece he fragged up for a client and had taken some daydream frags from his own little colony and they all got 'sorted' by one of his staff lol. I figure I'll probably have to wait until it grows out more.

Wild piece from a vendor, it's holding a yellow/orange color even in my higher par and higher nutrient system for about a month now so I'm hoping it stays true. I've got quite a few yellow / orange SPS I've been hoarding! Hard to find true yellows so whenever I see one that doesn't look like a bleached green I give it a shot.
