So this is the current BC grow out competition coral, im doing some research, there's not much around for it, I seen in 2014 on r2r someone referred to it as a "unicorn" lol it looks like it has spread around a little bit, but not allot of grow out pictures of it or information on what it likes..

Anyone have this coral right now and would you share any information or pictures, thank you !!! :)

I have one from a Battlebox in the Feb SuperbOwl sale so not that long. Mine has never shown any of the yellowish color under blues in the pictures, but it's pretty cool. I'm adding some new fish to the tank today so lights will be out, but I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. Here are a few from the initial box open and tank acclimation period.

I've seen some other pics of frags in frag packs Adam put together that def showed the yellow, but mine has never really exhibited it (even right out of the pack, so not a lighting thing). It's encrusted really well and tips are somewhat blueish.

Thanks for the information, like I said this is going on the grow out competition here in a couple weeks, it will be interesting although I'm thinking it's not a quick grower.
