Ok you win, I have never seen anything like that and wish you all the best with it. I am sure your PM box is full with request of frags lol. Again thanks for sharing. Here is a name for it " teenage toxic waste land"

rovster · 08/28/2014, 08:11 AM

Biggar, I saw you pulled those pics from another thread. Are you the one that bought the frag of this? If so, woohoo!

w.gurney77 · 08/28/2014, 05:24 PM

That piece is ridiculous! The colony looks amazing. What does it look like under normal lighting?

OrionN · 08/28/2014, 08:16 PM

I too would like to see it under normal light. Red and green LED will enhance all kind of colors

Yes this is very true statement. For this reason I have adjusted my led fixture to put this type of light out. I am now enjoying my reef much better as the colors really are poping. But when my spectrium shifts to the white side my Sps don't look half as nice lol. For this reason I have stayed within the bluer spectrium. I am getting much better colors but growth is not as fast. So one must ask them selves,Do they want nice colors or fast growth.
Con grats again on your tank.

Well unless you replicate the exact light he has your building yourself up for dispointment. It's am amazing Sps and yes I have never seen anything like it. I am sure it's amazing piece and from the looks of it, the picture is with red and actinic lighting.

You are 100% right on this one
all my SPS I get them from the mothers colonies all the time sometimes when I go to vivid I ask them to cut me a frag from the display tank were they have MH and the color that I see it's what I get, just to make sure I get what I want and I can provide the same lights for them,
Sometimes they have some frags a little bit less colorful on the side claiming that it's the same coral from the display if I get those they not always color up as the same on the display so if I don't see from where the frags it's cut usually I don't get it, just to prevent disapoiments

Just realized that was your piece, didn't recognize the name on the other forum

I'm wondering if I got a frag of this from you last year, it looks very similar. I was calling mine the poor mans orange passion, but I guess not any more

Laser Lammons · 09/04/2014, 04:06 PM

no doubt it is the real deal! I too was amazed by the colors of this coral and purchase one directly from the grower in Florida. Here is pic under 400W 20K and Hydra 52 supplements.
Best looking acro I have seen in the hobby and that spans back to mid 80's.

Laser Lammons · 09/04/2014, 04:11 PM

here is another of my all time favorite from Reef Raft

Nice, just found out I have a piece of this I got from seller a while back. Woohoo! Mine is like a minicolony. Love me some Mickey Mouse

OrionN · 09/04/2014, 09:13 PM

Can either of you post a picture of this coral under semi normal light. I would love to see it.

I think 400w 20k is normal light. Truly a beautiful coral.

ivan osornio · 09/05/2014, 01:10 AM

Picturessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OrionN · 09/05/2014, 04:44 AM

It is anice coral but I think not as nice as the picture under Red and Blue LED

Sorry bud but that is the only normal lighting I have on my setup

Most would consider 400W halides to be normal light. I dont run the tank without the supplements so why try and get a shot of the coral with only white llighting if no one actually runs those setups anymore and I will not view the coral in those scenarios. The walt disney tenius certainly is a very unique coral that is really enjoyed early in morning and evening when only under blue type lighting. When under Halides it looks like the pic I posted but still very impressive coral..

Orion,
You are more than welcome to come check it out when you are in the DFW area and see for yourself. A true gem.

Piper27 · 09/05/2014, 07:51 AM

If someone has a piece or knows where to get a piece of the yellow polyp tenuis please pm me.

Well the main reason is that there are plenty of people that don't run heavy blue, throw a bunch of fake colors on the coral, give it some dumb azz name, and sell nubs for $250.

I think this thing is probably really cool looking, but the first pic I find really interesting. I've never seen a shadow that was cast as multiple colors. Notice the shadow on this thing is two colors. The normal shadow color and then a touch of red/pink. It's been enhanced. I don't see any way that it hasn't.

rovster · 09/07/2014, 07:28 AM

It's very cool looking. Under blue LEDs, that's what it looks like. Mine is a little lackluster and ordinary looking right now due to some recent tank issues (most of my SPS are). It lost a lot of that body glow so I won't post a pic....Yet

Ok we saw this acro it's nice and nicer under some different types of lights,lets move on to a different acros please I order a frag I'm on the waiting list I thing he said there is 36 people ahead of me but I hope I will get it one day and I will post a picture under LEDs and MH I have both.

Then will see

Next acro please

flamron · 09/07/2014, 09:50 AM

Right. Let's not discuss the over saturated hyped photo that has made 40+ people ask to be on a wait list.

Robby2782 · 09/07/2014, 08:42 PM

It's just a tenius that developed it's color under highly saturated blues and reds. I had one just like that a couple years ago that developed similar colors in my frag system with t5/led's, then faded back to normal when moved to my display system with 14k halides.
