Aquavista99's Orange Crush Acropora

[aquavista99]

Thanks 250G! I modeled my existing system, in part, after your amazing reef tank. You had a stunning collection of SPS.

agreed, aren't you hoping to see one all orange one of these days???

The Orange Crush is one of my all-time favorite acros. Recently, I was able to get a few decent pictures focusing on just the tips of this amazing coral. I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks!

Lonnie, your Orange Crush colony looks fantastic!

Nope picked it up at Aquavista's house personally. Just a crappy camera.

Lonnie, your Orange Crush colony looks fantastic!

My Orange isn't as bright as yours but I would bet it has to do with the lighting, I'm still using the 250w 14K's and I believe your are under the 400w 14K's.

This is such an awsome coral.

Well, I guess I am the only one in Ohio with an SPS tank and no Orange Crush Acro. We are going to have to do something about this fellas!!!

Nice piece. The last photo looks like it takes on the characteristics of a Mille.

I got an SPS tank in Ohio and don't have this acro either. I have gotten some frags off AV99 at frag swap and they are very colorful. I was going to get one of this coral this past fall at Columbus but didn't have the money. It's first on my list to get from him next time!

The colors (pink or orangish tips, green polyps) and axial coralites do look like A. florida to me. The form is quite variable in this species - mine (from Garett's Acropolis) is pretty flat, but you can see in the photo below (not mine) that the tips can be quite orange under high lighting. Acropora florida is one of my favorites for sure.

Looks great, jcolletteiii :thumbsup:
