Anybody have pix of "Crayola" acros?

[drouner]

I saw several on Atlantis Aquirium's web site. Amazing color. I am just wondering if their color is easy to keep long term.

If you hav pictures show them please!

RM did have some...speaking of which, I somehow have a new colony in my tank

They're fairly easy to keep the color on. FWIW, i wouldn't touch the bali aquacultured ones with a 10 foot pole due to all the AEFWs on them.

Well, what is the new colony?

 

[joetbs]

From their website:

It's 7-8". Only one branch broke during shipping(1" at that) which I'm amazed by. Looks great in the tank, polyps were out about 5 minutes after introduction.

NICE!!! I am looking at their web site now.

That is a wild colony?

 

[joetbs]

Yes. You should email Chris & tell him to email you when he has some more. IME wild colonies of these do very well.

 

[drouner]

What kind of lighting do you have?

2x 150w Icecap Spot pendants w/ Iwasaki 6.5k Floods
4x 110w VHO Super Actinic

Tank is 48x24x24

I ordered a few frags and small colony they called a crayola table, which in the picture was blue and purple, it came in brown as brown could be and I know it wasn't from the few hours it was in-transit. Though I was very unhappy with the miss-leading picture it did come in with 2 pairs of acro crabs on it which I was happy about. It is now starting to color up 2 months later.

This is when it first came in.

 

[drouner]

If I may ask, whom did you order it from?

 

[blstravler]

I got it from Atlantis Aquirium in a group by with my local club.

 

[drouner]

I guess that is a standard "Brown Crayola"! I would be disappointed as well.

 

[blstravler]

I was disappointed at first, but it is getting more and more color every week. They did give some free frags to us and everyone in the group purchase got one. My free frag is now baby blue with neon green polyps and fully encrusted and growing very well so I think it all evened out in the end.

 

[drouner]

Cool, good to hear. AA has nice looking pieces for sale.

Mine is still a frag and very slow grower. But fuzzy as heck and coloring up much better recently. It was brown when it came in.

Thanks Dave, it is the tanks center piece and the pic is my screen saver.

A Deswalli Crayola.

400 Watt 20K to get this color imo.
