Thats a sweet looking frag!

for me that acro like brown panther. our digital camera cannot get the real color sometimes. so, I think that real color different with what the pic shown.

 

[KEEPERZ]

that's the one, so is anybody growing one besides LA.? Here's the one I got and it kept it's color well

and while I was at it, this austera also, pink isn't to bad a color IMO

here is the pink panther from Live aquaria. Had it for a couple months.
It's not a fast grower but very nice indeed. I have to say they have an unbelievable amount of amazing coral up there.

sweet pic rtbm, how is the flow you have it in and is it lower in your tank under what lighting? thanks in advance

 

[rtbm]

Thanks. it's in pretty high flow and about mid tank under reeflux 12k's. I was fortunate enough to see the mother colony of this and it was really quite something. It'll be a while before mine looks like that one though. thanks again keeperz.

Yeah, it's a nice coral, but I won't be dropping a C note on a frag.

Well I recently exchanged emails with LA trying to track this baby down, no luck. Hoping someone other than Adam has it and would like to share a pic. Its Adams pic that has sparked my interest. But I also know its hard to compare Adams success to us minions.

^^^^Thats Adam^^^^ The same guy that posted the pic earlier in this thread

Awesome thread revival! Yep thats the original frag I picked up back in 07.

This thing is just one of those painfully slow growers. i don't even like fragging it because it sets the colony back like a year its crazy really.


the panther may very well be my all time favorite acro. Its been through a number of tank mishaps and hiccups over the years and has proven to be extremely hardy. in fact it has never ever lost it's pink coloration.

Ya I figured it might be the same Adam, but didn't make the connection. Awesome piece for sure.

Mine has been in my tank for a year now and has grown maybe a 1/4". This coral is the slowest growing coral I've ever seen but very nice and unique looking.

I have the blue panther and a PM which is also painfully slow. Would love to see these three side by side for growth comparison. All three are questionable on species as well if I'm not mistaken.

Here is my Pink Panther, I have to say a slow, slow grower, and I really cant recall any other corals that grow like it. Not even the PM. I love this corals the, the longer I have it the more I like it.

^^^OMG^^^
Thanks for sharing

Almost looks like a pinkish version of the Purple Monster.

The purple monster has nothing on this coral when it comes to slow growing. I thought the PM was a slow grower until I got this coral and was very surprised that this thing grew as slow as it did.
Mine has a smooth round branch like the purple monster but isn't as clumpy and tight as the PM growth structure.

Ok, good to know. Stunning none the less.
