Why is Homewrecker a must have?

No editing or fancy blue/uv lighting. This what mine really looks like in my normal lighting spectrum.

good pic!!! what one in front off it? That looks nice too

Lots of these depend how blue you like your tank. I like a whiter look and honestly have spend a lot of money on various acros and even chalices that wow, turn on blues heavy and are amazing, but look very ordinary under now I prefer to run my lighting. I think it’s jaded me a bit

I used to be very white like 10-14k spectrum for 6 hours a day, then 14 - 20k for 4 hours and blues for maybe 2-3. This time im gonna try more 14k look with blues still around 2-3 hours
I run alot of par like 800 to about 300 though as all channels run at 100% on orpheks for the 3 hours

I got the tiniest frag of it when it first appeared in the UK and it is still very very small. It also has very little colour but I am hopeful as it gets larger things may start to colour up. I paid £80 at the time for it and honestly it was minute. Pretty disappointed but still hopeful.

I lost a bunch of my sticks in the move, but the biggest benefit the HW has is the brightness. It is brighter thank my 24k lepto and JF yellow green hydno. Those were the 3 corals I had that if I adjusted the ISO for them, the rest of the tank looked dark. If I adjusted the ISO for the rest of the tank, the 24k and HW looked blown out. Add the rainbow tenuis under blues is another boost.

To each there own, but this is a top-5 rainbow tenuis to me. The color actually works in non-blue light and the pinks and purples look good with the green. I don't know what else rounds out my top-5 but RMF Lucky Charms, SCOP and MattV Rainbow Envy are probably in there. I have a feeling that these will be still desired long after the rainbow tenuis craze is mostly over. It can be hard to color, but if you can, it is really nice.

This is an older photo just under 14k Phoenix for both daily living and the photo - no blue lights or filters.


Edit: round out my top-5 with Tyree Superman Tenuis.

Is homewrecker the official name if these coral? I definitely want one and are they hard to care for

 

[jda]

Homewrecker is a named frag that you can trace back to Jason Fox. Without the lineage, then it is not a Homewrecker... it is just a green, purple and pink tenuis.

Depending on the tank it can pull some pretty insane colors. Check out this colony from @Kevin Estevez

Yeah especially blasting it with reds blues greens how do you spectrums of course you’re going to get those colors

 

[David Gaskins]

I’ve got a small HW colony that I purchased from JF, so lineage is solid. It’s starting to really color up. Not the slowest, but certainly not the fastest grower. Small Frag growing as well for future reef tank.

I thought the same thing seeing pics of it online. When I saw it in person, I picked up a frag literally that day because even under white lighting, it glows like it's illuminated from the inside. Its the intensity of the colors that impress me most about it.

 

[JaimeAdams]

Mine is actually pretty fast growing.

 

[mingc]

this homewrecker acro's color was amazing!!!

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

I don’t think that was a homewrecker from Kevin. Looks like his “crazy hands Tenuis” but under straight uv. This is what it looks like under normal lighting
Top left

Never mind
It was his homewrecker

Just wanted to share, MY JF homewrecker colony :)

under blues only and the other photo is with my regulars daily light settings with blues/whites/reds/greens Let me know what you all think, sorry for the iffy iPhone photos BLUES REGULAR

But that first pic is under straight UV
I communicated with him several times and he didn’t even have white LEDs in his fixture. So the “normal” lighting was just blues/UV/V.

Just picked up JF Homewrecker, some amazing colonies on here... Looking forward to growing this out.

First picture was taken October 3rd. Just snapped this pic today.

I feel like I'm getting good growth out of it. I don't have that many Acropora but it's my fastest growing one.

What lights are you running?

What lights are you running?

Right now, 2 Reefbright XHO, 2 Actinic T5 and 2 Blue Plus T5 hung about 2ft off the surface (Canopy mounted on the wall with brackets) over a 2ft x 4ft tank. I just set up a couple IMs and plan on moving my softies over to those and most of my LPS. Once I do that I have a pair of Ecotech XR30 pro that I will probably add when I switch that tank over to mostly Acropora.
