Both of these have been showing crazy PE. Just a random note/reminder for myself. When shoot with iPhone late at night, don’t edit color temp while the “Night mode” screen is on 😅. Here’s a bit of a redo. 7 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hm I think I have a similar acro to that blue one. Mines called a superman tenuis. That clam in your first photo looks small and cute! 2 Quote Link to comment

That clam in your first photo looks small and cute! That is the SC orange passion. This one is slowly developing the signature bright orange polyps, just getting pass the yellowish stage. The Superman tenuis should have pink-to-red polyps. If you referring to the mound of putty there, that is a small frag of cali tort. Just a bad angle of it 😅. 1 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Thats the orange passion?! This below is my tenuis. Just looked similar except I noticed yours had a lot more green. My orange passion is just a small stick. Was bright green everywhere but I am noticing polyps are turning orange or yellow. Just a waiting game. Thing is working hard to encrust first I think. Very nice pics 3 Quote Link to comment

pokerdobe Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 @mitten_reef Lemonade will always be a staple in my tank due to hardiness. OP is my permanent favorite. It's the right balance of price, hardiness, and coloration. @Elizabeth94 The SC OP's color's come more into bloom as it develops into a colony. Many times as a smaller frag, it will green out, but eventually it'll work itself back to orange. It is unmistakably orange too.

Elizabeth94 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 @pokerdobe THAT is exactly what I am hoping for! Absolutely beautiful. Funny. I remember rastas seemed like slow growers in my past tank. So with my newer tank they were the first to go in. Love their color. 1 Quote Link to comment

They grow well, but all the yellow ones were already established on the rock when I added a few rastas. Btw, I found a pic of the OP from not long ago, from April 5 photo set to be exact. It’s a bit blurry cuz it wasn’t the focus of that shot, just cropped it here. The polyps were still blah then. 3 Quote Link to comment

Once it starts taking off, it's a surprisingly fast grower. I've made more frags of OP than any other tenuis. 2 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 because the other tank is kinda slow-going due to reasons beyond my controls, I decided to give myself a little pat on the back with some new corals. . Not really wise use of tank budget, since I still have some more hardware/equipment to purchase for that tank, but oh well. 🤷♂️ waiting on shipping confirmation 5 1 Quote Link to comment
