Battlecorals Vivid's Rainbow Acropora - Contest Discussion Thread

Maybe I'm just missing something and the new polyps grow weird on these guys but it looks like yours also has some type of nibble action on it

Maybe. I haven't seen anything picking at it. I've never had great polyp extension on it.

Sorry, was lazy and used the cell phone but it's starting to take off now.

This thing is finally coming around for me! Loads of encrusting and a few new branches coming off the original frag even

Mine is finally getting nice colors.

Lookin good!

I broke out the camera this evening to document some other acros and snapped one of these as well. Also upped the light intensity by 10% this week but based on what yours has done, I suspect it wont make much of a difference as they followed roughly the same coloration patterns.

29 Dec 2018 (few days short of 12 months). Almost all the brown has dissipated and some soft teal/green undertones are starting to come out.

Thanks!

Here it is today.

Mine is still growing. Not much color yet.

Still kicking but it was moved again. Every time it starts to color up, I end up changing something that affects it. Hardy coral but testy in regard to color.
