That's the alpha herbivore. Discourages competition for food and rules the reef top. Always gets first crack at any waffles.

Here's a shout out for RC sponsor Marine Depot:
Great customer service...thanks!

Hey Gary, what's the blue sps you have front middle left in the last photo?

There are 2 or 3 nice blue Acros in that area

I'm not sure of their names. One came from cully...so maybe he has a name. I got the other 2 @ CF about 9 years ago.

I believe the one in that pic is from cully. It develops fantastic horizontal growth that can't really be seen in my pictures

 

[DBR_reef]

Well whatever it is I really like its growth pattern and color, so if you ever have a frag, let me know

one of these blue Acros glows yellow/green at the skin (base) and growth tips under blue leds. The other is solid blue under leds. The third blue Acro has a very light blue (almost white)skin/ base under halides. Although they all appear very similar, I'm pretty sure they are different species.

All three Acros are showing extremely similar (horizontal) growth in my aquarium due to it's water flow patterns

Gary,

What is your typical daily feeding routine?

 

[Capt_Cully]

The one from me was wild caught. As with many of those, all I can say is Acropora. My guess using Borneman was A. austera....but who knows. It's dang purdy.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Thanks, Mark.
It really IS very nice. Jake Adams asked me about that particular Acro as well. Unfortunately, I have no positive ID on it yet.

Gary,

What is your typical daily feeding routine?

Auto feeder drops one turn of pellet.
I'll add another turn or two manually when I get home.
I also toss in a small portion of frozen Hikari mysids.
Feedings usually done in late afternoon when halides are shutting down

Gary, do you add any amino acids or coral food? Acro Power, Reef Energy, that kind of thing?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I started dosing AcroPower (aminos) about a year ago.
The big urchin usually spawns during evening feedings.
That stuff is probably food too!
