wanted to know your experience and its growth

PICs would help

Looking for some frags of it as well. THANKS
 
You can check rarefrags.com out, I think they have a frag on e-bay now. I warn you that if you are looking for cheap frag of it, it won't be at this time, as it is a hot item right now.
Check out exoticreefs.us from time to time too, as on of the farmer has a colony of it.
 
Beware of oddly colored acros---some odd colors can be produced by over-lighting or underlighting. I'd sure want to know if it keeps its color in reasonable high lighting and what it's provenance is.
 
From what I've seen, low lighting in the higher K rating gives it the yellow body.

Tubs says it'll get the more attractive green under 400W or lower K rated lighting.

Tubs Pink Lemonade and Atlantis Shades of Fall are the same coral (just different lighting).

Sparkss - Thanks. They are the same exact piece. Ming got his shades of fall from Alex Paguntalan (Reefer on a Budget) and Alex got it from me way back.

As for coloration it is more of a lime green with lower kelvin lighting (like 10K or Iwasaki) and more of a deep glowing green with 20k type or bluer lighting. In either case the polyps are pink but show better with 20K. It is a very good encruster and will develop a purple base edge growth and as a matter of fact, Jesus came by last night and we talked about it a little and mentioned that the base that was a bit more shaded had more purple to it.

Also as a freak note, James of Aquascene had an accident with his tank and stressed the corals quite a bit and guess what his lemonade did - the whole thing turned a solid blue - really weired and it was a nice solid blue at that (but not normal). Hope it has recovered for him.

Hugo - still impresses me with how big you got it to grow and all along I thought it was a slow grower but it seems that once it gets a foothold it does grow fast.

It is a gorgeous coral.. we have been trying to get a frag of it for a while now (that is how/why I know which ones are which for this particular coral :)). We thought we got a frag of it from a reefer in SJ, but even he wasn't sure if it was a frag of that coral or not. So far it hasn't colored up for us (after over a month), so I am beginning to think that we still need to be "on the hunt" :)
