Ming Atlantis Rainbow arco

[mano1192]

yea i wasnt gunna say anthng, but thats way too red to be natural, even look at the coral to the left of it, red polyps....

[cnaegler]

Dude , if those colors are for real, that is THE baddest acro i have ever seen! And i thought my pink lemonade was cool! What kelvin are those under? What is the acro to the left? SURELY both those acros' red's don't look that intense, do they? No photo doctoring? That's the real colors?

Everything looks red in them...including the live rock. I am sure that is a rhetorical question so I will leave it alone at the expense of kicking the hornets' nest.

Holy smokes...nice editing.

Here's the closest thing I have to it, my red mille. Came in as pretty much all red, now the base is green w/the red polyps. Taken under 14k with no actinics.

[raddogz]

Hey Eric which 14k's are you using?

[JOSE CASAS]

That piece is very nice!!!!!!!

[Ebn]

Thanks, Jose.

Eileen, it's an Astralux 14k bulb. The coloring on it has really shifted on me. The base is a very rich green coloration while the polyps are a rust red w/white tips. I think it needs less light to maintain the reds.

I have a frag of the rainbow acro on the way. Do any of you that own this coral have recommendations on placement? What kind of flow are you hitting it with and how has it responded?

Thanks!

He most likely sent you the wrong one.

Let us see a pic

[JOSE CASAS]

Deklin if you dont mind me asking where are you getting your rainbow acro from?

[Marko9]

Ming had one on his site.

[grundig5]

Mine is midway under 8x24 T5s. For me, the more flow, the more polyp extension. My polyps arent as nice looking as the body of the coral, so I put it in a bit less flow. Its got a green base, red tips, and I'm starting to see a bit of a darker purple or blue coming in. It needs to grow more...

[deklin]

Thanks for the info Grundig.

Jose- I got my frag from Ming.

[JOSE CASAS]

Thanks

Nah, I really doubt that. We trade eachother all the latest and greatest pieces we both get in If he did, then I'm screwed

Mine is coloring up though, but nothing like the picture on Rommel's site. I'll try to get one up.

[Ebn]

Just saw these last night (check the one on the left). Lighting is with T5s and a very clean white (I'd say along the lines of 12kk).

[eagleONE]

Ebn, where did you find these?

[Ebn]

They're in my buddy's tank. I forgot to ask him where they're from though.

The blue mille with red, orange and green polyps came from a local fish store. Their colony was really small and I was lucky enough to get a frag. Their display tank had a chiller failure and all their sps did not make it. I believe I was one of two person to get a frag before the crash.
