Battlecorals Vivid's Rainbow Acropora Grow Out Contest - Official Entries Thread

[PSXerholic]

What kind of rock did you use? For a young tank that looks solidly mature.

See my build thread for this tank here:

And you are right, this piece where that coral is mounted is from my old tank.
I did not wanted to break off the Master Yoda Acro colony when the previous tank broke and I had to rescue the coral ;-)
So a very few small rock pieces I carried over since I needed the coral material.

Here's my April pic.

This is my April entry. Today I have had it 3 months. I included the pic from day 1 and today. It has grown a little vertical but mostly is encrusting and growing new nubs.

Looking good. Wish I joined in on the fun. Good luck everyone.

It's not dead yet it looks like it's getting fatter not much vertical growth though

 

[Caravanshaka]

Still no real growth and mostly looks like poo, but a little color on it now and hoping it turns around now that I have nutrients in the tank again!

Mines finally coloring up. Green is now showing up.

April pic taken today - encrusting even more. About .2 cm growth (angle is off a bit in photo but this isn’t the final anyway) and it seems to have healed from the arm I broke off. It’s growing another - coming straight at the camera. Doing ok.

April check in. A little height (I think I’ll use a different ruler next time). Lots of encrusting and new shoots. Still working on getting it to color up.
Today

Day one

 

[Shameless_Dood]

April entry, it was stressed out for a few weeks. Looks like it's recovered now and growth is starting back up.

Like most, still not much happening. Coral seems hyper focused on nubbing. End of April pix

 

[newbreefer316]

Not much happening but with all the tank ups and downs I'm simply happy it's still alive.

 

[jerrad]

Not much going on this month.....

 

[Chac317]

Well, it’s still here...

 

[Clownman727]

Almost lost this frag over the last few months but its starting to grow now. Top down shot shows the color better.

This is awesome! What a great way to try to be the best way to grow a particular coral.
