Feeding time. Mesenterial filaments

This acro was in the ocean a month ago. Props to Happy Coral for retailing the healthiest specimens.

 

very nice! Great shot of a beautiful coral.

 

Num Num.

Looks like a Tortuosa, what is it?

Beautiful coloration.

 

Didnt take you long to see this one

But the acro is A. shudabensold... Lol just kidding. I am not sure, either a. lokani or else a. paniculata? Unless you have a better idea?

 

You know me too well.

Almost looks like a Hawkins, yeah not the scientific name.

It is a beautiful piece and big.

 

Sweet dingo! Christian at happy coral has really great stuff. I love it.

 

Absolutely! He is the only vendor I use anymore for wild corals.

 

Have you tried any of the browned out specials?

 

I tried a couple of millipora wild colonies a while back from a friend with a wholesale connection, one turned out to be amazing(deep red with yellow highlights) and the other RTN'd in 3 days.

For $40 a colony I cant really complain. But Chris at HappyCorals always has amazing wild acro colonies at really great prices.

 

yes, two...
One was a browned out tricolor w/ bright green polyps. Got it with the acro above, it is almost all purple now. Like the bonsai type

Other one was a brown millepora that I could tell was going to turn red/pink. But when I first looked at it I knew my chances of getting it there were very slim. I fragged it up into three pieces and put one in the DT (died next day), one into the growout (died after 48 hours), and one in the sump under blue LEDs (lived for a week).

Would I do it again? probably. They make for easy frags once you color them up if you end up not liking it.
