Bubbaque you sure know how to get good color out of your Acropora.

We all have them. My ugly ones grow the best, and have handled every mistake I've done to my reef. lol

Forgot to post this pic here too. I'll see if I can get a more detailed, closer pic next time. I got some extension tubes thanks to some advice from @bubbaque.

Finally getting some new nubs on mine. Pics under 20k then 10k for reference.

Under 20k

Under 10k

My nub has done nothing but encrust for the past few months. The color is getting really nice though. I have this at the top of rockwork getting 450 par from an Orphek Atlantik v4. As you can see, taking photos under 20k looks closer to their pics. Even under 10k it is a beautiful piece.

Looks nice! I am curious what type of rock that is?

Fiji Totoka. I have it in all 3 of my tanks. Awesome for stacking, a nightmare when you get hair algae! It’s a shame we can’t get it anymore.

I'll have to take a picture when I get back home later this week, but it hasn't grown as much. It's starting to hit other corals on either side so I think that has something to do with it. I'm in the process of clearing out a space lower down in the tank for it where it can have more room to grow and slightly lower PAR.

Update picture!

Apparently the Confetti doesn't do well when GFO gets shut off for 2 weeks and PO4 rises above 0.3 ppm. [emoji24]

Tragic! How long did it take to get that size?

This was it about 9 months before it died, it's the small frag to the left of the large red one

Finally got a good shot with my 55mm-200mm zoom lens and a 12mm extension tube. Uploaded with a laptop too instead of tapatalk. What a difference just changing those things.

You can now see the green growing edge I couldn't ever show before and the kind of aqua coloration in the deeper portions of the colony.
