Looks like it has potential. I haven't seen this one before.

Yeah, I saw a different one a day or two ago, and thought the same thing.

I was also eyeing that up.

I had the Tyree 'version' of this coral back in the day. One of my favorites. As I recall, it was a table-er and once established, did not appreciate being moved at all.

DFs pic looks like crap a better pic would help

Chad, You think so? I thought the pics were not that bad.

I really like A. Rosaria in general. When I saw that coral on DD I decided to give it a try as it looks to have a gorgeous sheen and color. Definate potential . Time will tell.

I've got a couple things coming from divers den on friday, a frag of this is among them...

Keep us posted with pics and growth ect.

Chad, what I notice is that the pics in the DD SPS section are super crappy. The gravel is the color of the corals, never a good sign . I feel like the frag pictures are much better than the colony pictures.

Pfft, you just haven't caught on to the turquoise gravel trend :reading:

What did Tyree name this piece?

What did Tyree name this piece?

If I recall correctly, it was 'Tyree's Phonape Rosaria'. It is no longer listed on his website so I can't be 100%.

 

[RagTopMan]

Ponape Rainbow Acro. It is listed on the retired LE page at Reef Farmers: http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedrainbow.htm. They state they lost the seed colony.

By the way, this has been on my wish list for a long time... anybody have a surviving colony they can frag?

I wish DFS would show a pic of the mother colony next to the frags "they" culture. Or have a dedicated page or something.

The Atlantis Raspberry Lemonade is also close to these colors.

Ivy, the coloration that you are getting is awesome. I hope that mine will color up as nice as yours.

Frag arrived this morning.
Here's a quick point and shoot shot and the image from DFS for comparison...
