Hey man. That first picture was day 1 of me receiving it. I was thinking of posting a picture monthly.

Nice. That's why I was asking. I think monthly would be perfect. Maybe throw an extra one or two in to keep us impatient people happy...lol Best of luck with it. Looking forward to seeing it's progress.

I will receive mine next week. Will be posting regular growth and color change too. But with that said, I do ned to add some 450 nm royal blue led to my tank, right now is only T5s (which apparently is good for growth and color, but not to show pictures). Well I also need to learn how to take a decent picture with led light...

At 5ppm nitrate watch the amino dosing. It can bite you real quick....

Remember all, I have this coral for more than a year and it was a little 0.5" popcorn piece, now it has a few more branches but not bigger than 1".
It's for sure a slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow grower.
Just to compare that most of my 1" sps from that time are now 3"+ or bigger in the same time frame.

I've heard the same

I am putting extra attention to this frag to see if I can stimulate it to grow.

HAHAHA, I have mine in a back file, Mike told me to leave it alone as much as possible and when it is ready it will give you the grow and color.
His took a long time too as he had it obtained as a brown frag.
Will swing by at the beach house today and get my camera so I can play too.

Where in the world can I get a frag that's not $600?

This is one of those acros that is such a high demand that it will stay $600 for quite a while.

Not the best pics but it's just a RAW shot.
As lights I have the ATI 60" power module hybrid 8bulbs, lights on were all blue Leds 50%, white Leds 25%
The four center bulbs all Giesemann Aquablue Coral, Super Actinic, Aquablue Azure and Aquablue Coral.

I might be able to contribute soon! Found a Canadian who can get my hands on this piece!

She's also got the JD

RR Jawdropper, it's the last piece to stir up as much attention and salt as the WD Tenuis

evolved · Aug 25, 2015

And with that, I'll remind everyone to stay on the topic of the WD, because I see a JD tangent coming if I don't.
