I'm sure there are dozens of morphs, the one I linked seems to lead blue-pink on tips and color to yellow-green on the base (the yellow green looks allot like yours, which is a tip?). And your frag doesn't seem like it could have even come from that animal he showed you, BUT it's a yellow millie - you don't see those often at all. Yeah, wont know until it actually grows out. The guy was a little hard to understand through texts. I wanted the other 4 acros for sure and told him to throw a milli in and he said he would throw a piece in of that. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment

Now you’re talking about the real unicorn, OG purple monster? I thought unique coral brought in a few when Jake Adams went diving somewhere a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure farmerty has it as well - but it's nowhere near fraggable. Extremely slow grower. 2 Quote Link to comment

Just read that there was only one ever specimen found in the wild back in 1995. Now is Tyrees the real deal? The guy I got this frag pack from said he had Tyree Purple Monster. 1 Quote Link to comment

Supposedly - if it's legit, I'd give it a shot for sure. It's not seen around, but I think it's a nice one to have. It won't be like the crazy rainbow acros you see these days, but I'm a sucker for nice, solid colored acros. 3 Quote Link to comment

I am a fan of the old school stuff. That’s why I wanted this Oregon Tort so bad. Weird nobody around here had any. Not a whole lot of the old ORA stuff around here really. 2 Quote Link to comment

Uhg, I feel this, I just found an incredible monti-morph I've been looking for since before I even got setups running again, now I'm on the lookout for ATL silver-bullet staghorn, I think I found a store which has it in a display but they went dark on comms =( That Stag's got a reputation for outliving crashes which are intense enough to kill ugly shrooms. 2 Quote Link to comment

ATL silver bullet is new to me - it's a bluish stag? If so, It'd make a nice contrast to the green slimer. 1 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It's not just blue, it's BLUE - almost a blueberry violet. Here's a good thread for a few photoshttp://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2665177 It may be chameleon, or a similar-morph, but that doesn't matter since both are impossible to find lol... 1 Quote Link to comment

Wonder if it goes by another name? Lots of the same stuff with different peoples name on it. Somebody I get acros from thinks aa chameleon and wwc yellow tips is the same. 2 Quote Link to comment

Can you imagine acros which weather crashes better than LPS? 2 Quote Link to comment

Can you imagine acros which weather crashes better than LPS? Many of the older school acro's who have been in peoples tanks for a long time seem pretty hardy to me. Most ORA stuff.....Hawkins, Oregon Tort (most torts?), most tenius and stags. I lost some LPS in my move but my tort and hawkins didn't care. I dumped some peroxide on them 2 days ago to kill some bryopsis growing around them...thinking they would surely lose some flesh but they are fine. My Battlecoral Acro's didn't survive my move 😞 All of my Boom Corals did though. 2 Quote Link to comment

A lot of the higher end newer stuff if you like at it wrong it dies. Quote Link to comment
Thrassian Atoll Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 My buddy’s coming down tomorrow and bringing me a ton of acros and a few montis. I’ll throw up some photos and list what all I got after he leaves. I get to try my new 30 plug zen frag rack! Haha. Swapped out the black side for clear. I’ll see how it looks. Somebody’s coming down too tomorrow to buy my IM lagoon. Been trying to sell that thing for 9 months now. I was thinking of setting up a softie/angler tank but I changed my mind. Just need to sell this hybrid nanobox now. 4 Quote Link to comment
