It has been a bit since we've seen a new gem from the depths of the quarantine tank! What's next Mr adam?

Is is super slow growing, Adam? If so, then I believe I have a frag of it that came as a BC freebie last year.

OMG, I have the Fairyfood! I'm blown away that Adam did this. I mean, it's like getting a freebie frag of WD or Homewrecker...like that's gonna happen.

It is super hardy, btw, and tolerant of both low and high nutrients and a skimmerless system, although it didn't grow much until going into my new 180 that has a skimmer. This is so cool, because I've always felt that this frag was something really, really special. Then a couple of weeks ago, I was looking at it thinking, "this looks so much like Adam's fairyfood acro." I've attached two photos, but be advised of three facts: I'm a terrible photographer, the photos were taken under leds with a high percentage of white light running, and I have yet to get this coral anywhere near its full potential. Also, the shot was taken after the coral was just moved, so it's polyps are retracted. Colorwise, it has a blue-purple base, pinker near the tips with pink, gold, peachy polyps.

A big thanks and a hug to Adam!

FF is the little purple frag in the center of the photo, directly below the green monti frag and the humilis colony.

What was it labeled as when you received it? Battlecorals website says "While it does exist, I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to actually frag this thing." If you got one awesome. I'm glad there's someone who's a worse photographer than me!:p

Can't tell if serious or not....o_O. I would love to know the truth. The base color actually looks like it.

No, it was a freebie. I got about a dozen frags. He said in this post that he's given some away as freebies. I could be wrong but it sure looks a lot like it.

Well, I'm not making it up, lol. I think it wants more light. I bet Adam has it under a halide.
Well since I found out U had the fairy food the only nice thing would be to give me a frag of it to make sure it really is it.

Congrats man sell that puppy for half a million still half off

No, it was a freebie.

I didn't know that would mean it's unlabeled, the freebie I got was labeled. I hope it is a FF, that means I'll just have to keep ordering frag packs till I get one!

The polyps are really cool. I need to learn out to zoom in and take close ups.
iPhone?

Get pro camera app. Turn white balance up to 10k. Take a video. You can screenshot the best focus from the video. It's hard to get snap shots with the iPhone for details.

If you have acrylic laying around or thin glass you can make a portal to get closer to it, or gently bring it to the surface if it's not affixed.
