This is my A.hoeksami, grown from a frag. I keep mine under low kelvin (6.5k-10k) lights with strong indirect flow and the system is fed twice a week with a DIY coral food. A real gem of a coral.
Baros your hoeksami is nice looking, love the blue.
Do you run ULN tank?

Beautiful and very sensitive coral. If you can keep one alive is a testament to your tank stability. I have one that is maricultured and picked it up as brown out frag at a LFS 3 years ago. It turned sky blue in my tank and took off for about a year then started a slow bleaching process from the base. I fragged it into 3 small frag but they are slowing regressing instead of incrusting onto the base rock. I think I'm gonna lose them too. BTW, very slow grower.

YOU have been ignored!
Ive been wanting to get one of these for a while. Had one a long time ago. Didn't last very long IIRC.
I ran zeovit for 3 years but stopped using it over 18 months ago.
I too had to take the plunge. I seen a beautiful mari one on DD and snatched it up right away. I hope I don’t jinx myself but through all the stressors I’ve put it through it still is looking very well. I’ve had it for about a month now. Initially I had it in my frag tank under 250 watt 14k’s, then I switched to 150watt MH, now it’s under T5’s. Reason being is that the 60 gal frag tank I had was sold off to make more room for my new system. It’s currently in a 20L along with several others. The 20 gal is temporary. I just needed as place to hold my frag/corals till my new tank is up. All-in-all it’s doing well.

I got from DD 9 days ago. Keeping its nice blue color and has good polyp extension. It does not mind high flow, I placed in medium to low flow and the polyp extension is better. It is in the middle of the tank now but it also tolerates intense light.
It is a very photogenic coral, no need to photoshop.

Last year I bought a wild Aussie Hoek colony from DD which died on me after a few months. Recently picked up another wild fiji colony from DD and it's doing well. I keep it under pretty good flow and about 30" from 400w radiums. Been about 3-4 months and I see some growth.

Important cool title
I've had mine for over a year, it was one of the few acroporas to survive two 10-12 hour powercuts which made the tank temp drop to 18-19c (tank in garage, powercuts came during winter snow).

Don't buy it peter, I'll give you a frag.
I bought one as some named from a guy about a year ago. It's doing really well for me (but is a slow grower). I think it was like Mike P's Super Blue, or something like that.. Anyways it's starting to take off for me lately.
Here's mine grown from like a 1/4" frag... ...it's like a whole inch now
