New Frag!


Picked up this little specimen this weekend. It's an Acropora horrida.



I wanted to get a pink milli but the LFS didn't have any frags of them. They only had a full colony for $300!

What, $300 too much for a single coral? Great looking addition, congrats!

Sweet pick up. I love the growth patterns of horridas. I have a couple of them. That one is VERY nice. It will be interesting to see what the blue and green does as it gets bigger.

Grow that sucker out and when you have an inch to spare I will give you a handful of that pink milli you want for it.

I might have to take you up on that offer. I went back to the LFS today hoping they didn't sell the pink milli and would have cut it into frags, but it had a sold sign in front of it. So instead, I picked up a green and purple acro. This was the smallest of the frags they had for this coral and right now it doesn't have as much purple as it's relatives, but I'm sure it'll get there with some growth.

How much can I expect that horrida to grow under optimum conditions? It's about 2 to 2-1/2" right now under 250 10k halides in 12" of water. I'll move it up in another week.



In this picture, it's laying on it's side with the top facing the camera. I'll mount it tomorrow to a plug.
