SPS deep water acro lets see yours

[Stolireef]

This is really odd to me. I have stag acros, table acros, et al that grow well. I have a lokani that, while nice colored, hasn't shown any growth. Good flow, parameters typical (no measurable bad stuff, Ca at 420-430, Kh at 10, Mg at 1420). LIghting is two Radions over a 110 running at about 75% for 4 hours and sloping up and down over 2.5 hours on either end. Position of Lokani is upper third of tank offset from center of Radion by about 20 degrees.

that is a nice piece where did you find that one Fsurocks99?

Thanks Roger, I work at a LFS and it must have been there over two months. So I decided to take it home. Had no idea it would turn from this

to what it looked like in the picture I posted above! Unfortunately, the last of it died a few days ago :mad2:

Here it is closer. This was two months before the pic above.

I believe it's a granulosa. Looks to be lightened up a bit. Still getting adjusted to the new lighting.

Nice piece! It looks like A. lokani to me. A. granulosa tend to have thicker branches and the axial corallites don't usually have the uniformed tubular shape that your coral exhibits. Just my thoughts though..
