Chalices grow alot slower then most SPS. Any SPS that grow slow carry there price tag for a long time look at the purple monster. Now if you can get chalice to grow a inch in six months i think you have some secrete juice. hints the big price tag on chalices.

Purple monster don't fetch much I can't unload 1"+ frags for 50$ were talking a unique acro it's just
Down right different!!! Lol I guess you gotta be a stick head..

Wow that picture is crazy. So the Red Dragon grows pretty slow? What sp. is it

Troylee · Mar 3, 2011

actually it grows at a decent rate but i dont think people frag it much since it's a nice piece i can't wait to have a nice colony of it...1smile1

Seeing that pic definitely renews my excitement about this coral. It does seem to be a moderate to fast grower as well. Maybe that's why people were cashing in. In a year or two this one may be everywhere.

i will probably try this acro real soon. i think the colors are sooooo nice. i have an affliction for red acros/millies and orange lps. red planet, red robin stag are 2 of my favorite so this will only add to the collection

This is what has kept me away along with the prce tag...plus I just don't think it is that awesome, but that is only my opinion so no need to bash me :bigsmile:

I like the Red Dragon Acro for it's growth more than it's color. It grows like a Bonsai tree so it's hard to find someone that wants to frag their baby they have grown out.

I think it's a super sweet stick- and wouldn't mind finding a way to pick up a piece of it in the near future (anyone have a frag they'd want to trade for something? lol, sorry, shameless plug.)

Price is price- I don't think HD TV's are worth what they cost, but I got one as a gift, and gladly sit and watch the HD channels whenever possible, heh. Something always has to come along to decide who gets anything of a limited supply, price is typically it (unless we started a national lottery system for all coral imports, that could be interesting, hah!)

Thanks for dropping in that pic from RC Ian, very sweet shot, makes me think more acro's need top-down shots (like SDguys topdown echinata shot)

Can you guys/gals post placement of the Red Dragon? Does it need lots of flow?

I dont know man, HD TV's are very worth it. I had one for a while and everytime i would visit my folks, i would tell them i cant watch their sub-standard TV LOL. Eventually the switched and wondered why they didnt sooner!!

Back on topic - This acro is beautiful and think the price tag isnt too bad all things considered.

I want one

Troylee · Mar 7, 2011

High flow middle of the tank is where mine is happy... I had it high flow flow high light and it lost it's color...

I bought a 3/4" frag from CITR July 1st last year below.

And now today.....(crappy iphone shot)

I have it getting about 400 par and medium flow. It's more red and very bright in person, can't capture it in a pic.

Troylee · Mar 7, 2011

awesome man!!!!!!! hope mine looks like that in 8 months....1smile1

Ian · Mar 7, 2011

GREAT growth, Oz!! Well done!

KLR · Mar 7, 2011

Awsome pictures everyone, I would get a frag of this asap,but 1 thing makes me hesitate

Acros are so delicate! If they start rtn they can be gone in 2 hours,i had a hawkins en. mini colony do this, so yes sps grow faster but alot of them will die much faster,which is why I stick with my good ole chalices....

On the other hand if I can get sps going good,I will be searching for a frag of this for sure!
