Anyone seen this acro live, or growing out a frag? UGH. I need to stop browsing the interwebz i'm going broke. I'll be in the valley tomorrow, and drive right past Vivid, so this is tempting me: http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand.asp...mp;SortBy=Price

It's definitely a nice acro. It's got so much color. They didn't have any frags of it last time I went but they'll cut it for you depending who you ask. You have to see it from the top. It's on my list for sure. Probably my next acro pickup.
LebaneseDlight
Of course YOU are on top of it hahaha. We should just buy alternating frags and hook each other up. We have the same taste in corals. BTW, they have two frags in the WYSIWYG wink.gif

Wow! That looks like *ALLOT* of actinic lighting there! I am going to be out that way soon and will drop by if I remember to look at it in person then let you know if it really looks like that.

Yeah man that would be cool but I don't know about you, I hate waiting for the damn thing to grow. For sure when the time comes we'll do some trading. Right now though, we probably have the same corals. laugh.gif I'll "TRY" not to get the same ones but it will be hard. laugh.gif

I think it looks better in person, especially from the top. You got to see the mother colony, not the frags. Usually I don't trust how things look online. They never look as great in person. In this case, though, it's quite the opposite. IMO.

WOW that really nice. I was there last Sunday and didn't see that one. I even looked at their grow out tanks. You should buy it then frag me a piece. biggrin.gif How about this one I got at Vivid.

The mother colony of the Rainbow Delight is in their 800g display on the right side of the tank towards the top.
Joeygo
I must have been looking right at it. Ha

Such a nice piece of coral I was looking at it earlier today. If they have those WYSIWYG frags at the store I'm going to pick one up
LebaneseDlight
The WYSIWYG is only at the warehouse, not the retail store. . . I imagine they can move one for you to the store.
MedicBMC
Ohhh I wasn't aware they had a warehouse. Sweet you know what else is nice is their tri-color!

Nice! Looks very similar to Hawkins Echinata. What is it?

OK - so they are fragging me a bigger Rainbow Delight Acro piece that I'll be able to pick up tomorrow.

It sees that your addiction got the better of you. laugh.gif The piece I have is a Purple Turaki.

Picked up the frag yesterday - the mother colony is even nicer than the picture, IMO. The pic is too blue, and doesn't show the "rainbow" of colors quite to well. The frag I got is small, like the WYSIWYG. Also ended up picking up the most amazing Crocea for $60 yesterday 3". Bright green rim, layer of awesome blue, and then gold and pink in the center. When I got home, though, the bright green rim was missing. WTF! Do clams lose some color during acclimation or do I not have enough actinic lighting to bring it out I wonder? Can't wait for LED supplements for my Sunpod, damn my tank is going to be bursting with flavor.

I told you so. laugh.gif

I'm gonna go check out your tank thread. Better have pictures of the new additions, esp the clam. smile.gif

I SWEAR I'll get pics up this weekend smile.gif Damn it, I hate working on Saturdays (nature of being in sales, I guess). I also go to grad school at night, and just had midterms, so it's been tough getting time to snap photos.
