Show off your Strawberry shortcake

[Bongo Shrimp]

Ugg the second one is a bad picture and it won't let me edit it out. Here it is taken with my real camera, the first one was with my Iphone:

This is sick!

Thanks glaukos! The strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite corals. I hope I can get a nice, big colony like some of the other pictures in this thread!

Oh man,.these are all beautiful. I just got one that is a 3/4” single branch frag. I'm still waiting for it to color up. Hope it blossoms to a big colony like these pictured someday. Please keep posting pictures for inspiration.

Moser,
This is crazy one. Did you grow it from a frag?

I wish!. That's not mine. It's kippers.....

How many different SSC species are there?.
I know the microlados, but there are others with similar colors. eg Nasuta. I'm sure there are others?...

I need a better camera. This one grew from a 1" frag.

I got a "ssc" a year ago but I think its actually something else. Its really yellow and pink but it tables. All the pics I see of shortcakes are wild colonies, I still haven't seen one grown out in a reef tank! So really I don't know what its supposed to look like... *waits for more pics...*

The more I look at some of these pics the more I think mine is actually a ssc but who knows. Its way greener than I thought with just the blues on. When the 10ks are on it seems more yellow. Here are two shots the one with the blues on is fairly old and the 10k pic is a little bit newer. I should probly get an updated one since it is one of my favorites that I have.

man love that green color awesome piece

 

[Piper27]

I would like to get an updated shot but I pulled four huge colonies out to make room and forgot to think about the reactor drip, in 3 days the alk went from 9 to 12 :hmm2: so a few things are looking a little funny, plus I did a few days lights out and stuff is still looking a little off. I hope it all works out a few validias are showing STN at the base and I only have a week to get the reactor (which has been killing me with it's little recirc pump) dialed in before I go on vacation...

 

[rogerwilco357]

best placement for the SSC acro would be? high flow high light?

 

[Piper27]

I keep mine right under a 250w halide with good random flow.

I want to see some more pics.

 

[rwyatt4424]

Here's a pic of mine. I've been meaning to take a more recent and better pic - hopefully this weekend. I grew it from a frag from my lfs.

Very nice coral
