Anyone have pics of Upscale Microlados?

latest shot of mine... as you can see it encrusted all down into the eggcrate and is starting some branch growth... if you look hard... you can see purple polyps

Its actually my favorite coral. If you have good, stable parameters and alot of actinic this coral absolutely GLOWS a bright lime-green with its contrasting blue-purple polyps and looks very cool!

I love the purple tips as well.. Did your frag grew since you got it from me? Pm me or post here I want to see it :)
 
Yep it grew alittle started to encrust, but color is just starting to come around now in the new tank. I cant wait for a couple months now to see where it is, in the new tank things are starting to grow already.
 
I'm reviving this thread from the dead. I picked up a frag of this quite a while ago and it's finally starting to color up and take off. You can see the intense coloration on the tips. It seems like it finally found it's happy place.....I'm hoping the growth starts to take off now.

Okay if you're going to dust it off, I'll play. I've been growing the Upscales Microclados and like it a lot. It grows fairly fast for me!

Is the Upscales Microclados essentially the same as the ReefReady Grape Juice Acro? I have the Grape Juice and it looks almost identical. Am I right on this or are they completely different species of acropora?
