Chris! Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That one is a beauty. got it for $10 a long time ago. it's been a veryyyyyy slow grower for me. Damn thats a steal even if it tiny IMO. Definitely a beautiful piece, deepwaters have long been a favorite of mine. I'm torn between thinking A. caroliniana or A. suharsonoi... Quote Link to comment

GT350pwns Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I've been tempted to grab a piece from dd but I'm curious as to how it would color up. The green on DD has me apprehensive Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 DD pieces are too blue with the light, can't tell the true colors. you saw one with more green? Quote Link to comment
GT350pwns Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah, labeled as raspberry limeade. Thought the was how the kat started! Curious as to how far down the list I am now! Quote Link to comment
sprite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is the dfs raspberry limeade that I received today.. Might be a Lil stressed from shipping, is kinda pale around the base is laying down Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks good though. Quote Link to comment
sprite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure it was bounced around. When I opened the bag, it had fallen out of the Styrofoam float it was such in Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Macro shot. Still improving. 7 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 looks like the kat! http://www.cherrycorals.com/acropora-frags/cc-booberry-2/ Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah. In coloration it's close but I think that's the shortcake family. Hard to tell though. Macro shot. Still improving. Looks so good Mark!! My pieces and colony are very green now, can't wait for the purple to come back 3 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 pics kat! pics! I know I know. I'm still away from home, pics next week when I'm back. I think I'm ready to glue down the colony now. We will see how that goes. Quote Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 That one is a beauty. got it for $10 a long time ago. it's been a veryyyyyy slow grower for me. 12_20_14-4 by xMrKleinReef, on Flickr That's a superb deepwater acro, and I can't believe you only paid $10! My deepwater too has been a super slow grower but it cost me $65 and is the most expensive SPS I ever bought. I believe I have a Mr. Pacman but others have said it may be a CC Needle in a Haystack (they look identical to me). Quote Link to comment

I think the LFS had no idea what it could be so they were just trying to make way for something else. here's the first pic i took of it: then it turned into this: now the green is more dominant. but i've had that coral for probably 2.5 years. 2 Quote Link to comment

Mine actually looks a lot like the second picture you have under actinics but the green tips have faded slightly as they are growing outwards. Mine is purple under daylights though. I'd say mine has probably grown just a few mm on each branch since I got it 3-4 months ago. Kinda crazy how it has tansformed color so much. Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Nice.. Care to share your lighting and parameters.. My frag from dd browned out lie and I'm stay moving it back up now Hybrid light - NanoBox ATI retrofit - 4 T5 bulbs, 6 LED full spectrum arrays. I run alk ~8 (trying to raise it a bit), calcium is ~420 Nitrate and phosphate is in the high range. Going to test them today actually. Post a picture of your DD frag Quote Link to comment
