Beautiful all of them indeed.

Mine is painfully slow growing as well. I do have it in pretty subpar lighting and flow conditions so I'm sure it could look a lot better, I just don't have room. Hopefully that will change here real soon!

I got mine from Terry's awesome colony posted above. I can only hope mine willl look the same one day.

Guys, I don´t know if its my imagination but it seems as if it is growing, as if it were a fast grower, I´m sure at least a small branch has doubled in size and I´ve had it for only 2 weeks.

I took a better pic, its starting to colour up

How is this piece coming along for you now that you have had it over 2-months?

Here's mine from a month ago, slooooow grower...

This one is SWEET, it looks similar to the picture on reeffarmers plus it has the nice green coralites.

Here is a picture of mine, I think it has a lot of potential to look like some of the others.

I have it but I don't refer to it as the Tyree Ultimate Blue Stag . JK. Hit it with lots of flow and lots of light and it should be pretty happy.

I'm taking this advice! I got my piece from somebody who got it from gcarroll.
GCarroll- any pics of how yours is doing yet?

not so good pic of mine. this came from a frag of my original that i lost that came from menard in chicago. never knew it had a name though. I have always loved this thing. as usuaul it looks way way better in person. maybe someday i'll get a decent camera

 

[CoralMonkey]

Nice, what light and flow are you keeping it uder

 

[rtbm]

thanks

it's up high right under 400 watt reeflux 12k's high flow also.
this is really one of my favorite acros. actually grows like a weed after about a year.
my first one and this one sat for almost a year before it grew at all it seemed. then boom. It's worth the wait.

 

[CoralMonkey]

I'm going to slam mine up top too. I'm working it up there slowly.

 

[rtbm]

you will be glad you did.

Here's a few year old pic of mine when my dada was growing it out for me. This is under VHO's in the sand of a low flow 29g! No dosing of any kind just weekly water changes with IO...

Since this I have not seen nearly the growth he did, but the brown has turned dark blue and I see green tips.

 

[CoralMonkey]

Do you have a picture of how it looks now too?

 

[CoralMonkey]

Here is a picture of mine, I think it has a lot of potential to look like some of the others.

I have had the piece above for about a month now. The picture above is when I first got the piece, I don't have a new picture yet.
I slowly brought it up top over the course of almost 3-weeks. The dark part of the coral is lightening up into a light blue color and the green tips are gone now. Do you think I am blasting it with too much light? It is about 8" below the surface directly under a lumenarc mini which has a 250watt Radium which is about 7"-8" above the surface. Aquariumclown, rtbm, gcarroll and for the others who are able to keep the green tips, what is your placement and lighting?

 

[mmotown]

where did you guys get that piece?

 

[plancton]

How is this piece coming along for you now that you have had it over 2-months?

The branches are coloring up nicely, they look like some kind plastic blue, and its been growing well too.

mine came from menard at reef dwellers in chicago years ago.


Thanks menard!
