I have always had issues with red acros in this tank, I think a combination of poor stock and high/fluctuating phosphates. Things are improving here as well, but slower.
Red Robin is still mostly brown.
My 2 month old Red Dragon frag has been doing well and growing. Doesn't want to encrust though.
This milli was my test at the beginning of the year. When purchased it was bright pink and then browned a few days later and stayed brown until last month. I think it's almost back to where it was when I got it and finally starting to branch out.
My SSC is still a pain in the rear. It was surrounded by clove polyps so I cleared the area and it has expanded and maybe is deciding to branch, finally, after 2 years. :lmao: It's been through hell and back and not once has it even receded. It's also extremely effective at knocking the crap out of that Mystic Sunset weedy monti.
I have a really bad habit of picking up unknown frags and seeing what happens. This milli wants to be something, hopefully not green.
Finally, a testament to how rugged some of these acros can be if you just give them good and stable water quality. This was a fist sized colony when I had the alk spike that killed it back to a fingernail sized chunk.
My goal here is to color up these acros and grow them out until my early mistakes become too much to tolerate. The Seafoam pally's, the blue cloves, and the general poor condition of all my rock, much of it from my first tapwater :facepalm: reef tank 3 years ago. At some point I'll move it all to tubs and start over in the same tank, this time without the pests.
, before I had my Acro disaster I had a Sarmentosa and it looked just like your one (not the color). I love that poci, just stunning
