Here's a pic of the frag I got from my LFS yesterday. My dealer will be setting up a table with ORA corals a MACNA next week.


Sorry for the fuzziness

Hey gang, I have a question about the red planet. This is the first tabling acro I've had. I asked my lfs what a tabling acro is and they said it has to do with how they grow, more out and then up. My question is, how should I mount this frag?

Right now, I have it mounted at a side angle, so it's growing outward from the rock it's mounted to. Is this O.K., or should it be mounted more upright? Or does it make any difference?
Thanks Gerard

I would mount it upright because it's a frag. It will table naturally as it grows.

Here is mine from LA. I really love it!!

Here is mine, I love it, but I like the Pearlberry better.

 

[basser1]

I think I agree with you cmart28.......

I got mine yesterday. Kinda small compared to the norm though. I do like the pearlberry as well.

I've had mine for about a month or so now and though it looked really awesome when I got it and its already encrusted quite a bit, it has lost its original color and is now a pale tan/red. No more green is visible. I'm hoping its just because my tank is still maturing and that eventually it will regain its color. I have it under strong 400watt 20K radium lighting in fairly strong flow.

When people have have a decent one, do they support it alot....or only for things you could not get cheaper somewhere else? Might be why they went belley-up. This is one big reason why people do not see a lot of them still around. To save a few $$ people will get all the information and the little things they need from them, but when big purchases come along, (to save $5 on a $200 item) they will buy online from a vendor that has no experience or store to support. Do gyms give away lessons? Do people work for free? Why cannot a store charge a little more than 10% markup, $40 on a $400 item. I could not even do that.

Sorry to rant and rave, but bugs me and hurts when people post this stuff. Would like to get some of these in to a LFS but mine is gone now due to things like this. Eric would you pay the $89 going rate for this coral in my old store when it was there, or just get those $1.50 snails? Reason why more LFS close every year, hard to stay open and make very little profit when other business are making 40,50 and more % profit to stay open.

Love this thread, just hurt to see this statement

Sorry but those are the true colors of this coral! Mine looks just like his photo in person. I just didn't get as close as he did in my photos. This is one of the best acros out in a while. The best is still the german green with blue polyps. But this is a close second. JMO
