That is one sweet looking coral! Good luck with them guys.

I recently got a frag of this from RC member RTBM and it had really taken a liking to my tank. I got a 1" frag that is encrusting and coloring up nice under T5's. Besides the Pearlberry and Red Planet, this is easily one of the nicest ORA corals out there, and a definite must have for SPS fanatics.

seems like half of this thread got hooked up on this coral by rtbm.

Heres another piece of Adams german green I picked up last year to replace the one I lost. lol

kind of OT...kind of not. My yellow torts polyps are starting to turn blue. Just noticed it the other day when I moved it. They are darker blue at the base and hopefully it will continue. never heard of a blue polyped yellow tort before

When I got mine it was green with bright blue polyps. When I moved the gbpa retracted it's polyps and turned pale. After a few months it got the green color back. The polyps have reappeared but are now white. Will the blue come back?

 

[JAustin]

It should come back. This coral loses it's color real fast. Sensative but hardy.

[JAustin]

nice colors rigleautomotive!

How long have you had your colony?

 

[rigleautomotive]

Thanks,4 years or so and it has given up many frags to provide space for other corals through the years.Its in the regrowing phase(2.5 to 3 ") now and at its biggest it was about baseball size or a little larger.Kinda slow I guess compared to other stags

 

[phenom5]

Still chugging along, solid growth...okay color.

Seems like if I even look at this coral wrong it browns out a bit.

Another thread revival attempt! Here's a quick iPhone pic that I thought came out decent enough. Hooray for the GBP!

 

[alessandro]

nice acropora.
which is its scientific name?

 

[blakers82]

I don't think I've seen an ID for the GBP. I would like to know too.

To the top. Lest see them now. It has been some time since I've posted here. Long story short I lost most of my colony two years ago. I was left with a 1/2" frag. It is growing but it's no where near the size and color my old colony was. I've recently added another frag from Blakers82. I'm thinking I out combining them into one colony.

 

[Dog boy Dave]

Here is mine. Have had it several years. I find it hardy and easy to keep but very sensitive to alkalinity and calcium swings. Easy to keep but hard to keep colored up all the time.

 

[myzislow]

yup!! This coral is hardy as they come, almost impossible to kill. However, it is a PITA to keep well colored for the reasons previously mentioned.

 

[TheHun]

Does anybody has a frag of the GBP Acro for sale? Please let me know. Thanks
