black acro

[tibob32]

I didn't know that color existed in acroporas. I've had this for a month and it's maintaining its color; black or maybe very dark gray (with a slight tint of purple) with yellow tips. I'd love to see a picture of a colony of this

Looks sweet, what light is it under?

 

[dvanacker]

ba dum bump.

 

[tibob32]

ba dum bump indeed, hehe

until earlier today it was under 14k 250w halide with 2xt5, but I moved it to my grow-out tank (pictured) 6xt5 sunpower (4 b+, 1p+, 1 kz ng)

Now that is one I have never seen !
Beautiful !
Keep us posted on the growth .......and frag availability.
Very Nice !

It looks like you have pretty white lighting. I'd be interested to see how it changes under 14-20k.

There are very few black corals, I think acropora and montipora are excluded from the select few.

Now grey or dark brown are possibilities...

 

[ReefJunkieOK]

That thing is sweet! Hopefully it keeps those colors.

Ummm where did you get that and was there more?

[daveonbass]

See this for lights. The picture makes the lights look white, but that`s just my bad coolpix camera. I`ll try to take a more accurate picture tonight with a better white balance. As for the color, yes, it does appear to be very dark gray with a hint of purple rather than pitch black, but you have to look very closely to see it. The picture isn`t shopped, however I used the fix feature to make the colors a little more accurate to what my eyes see

Its just a ****ed off coral it will change when it is less stressed

Here's a slightly more accurate picture of the blacro (sold to me as a poison ivy but I couldn't find anything about such a coral online)

Wow, that's a lot or rage! LOL, I have the same or similar piece. Very dark except for the tips which can be yellow or green.

 

[tibob32]

pictures of your piece would be appreciated. Mine is aquacultured and I picked it up from montreal, so it wouldn't be really far fetched to believe it comes from the same place yours come from if its that similar
