Bubba's SPS Journey

[SneakyTortuga]

Yes I got it in person when they had their in-store sale a few weeks ago. I posted a pic in here somewhere if you want to search using the tool bar. As a frag it wasn't impressive but after seeing both their colonies in person I was sold. Their budgie colonies are very impressive to say the least.

I’m tempted to buy the one in this 30% sale but it’s still a little too expensive for me to pull the trigger!

Well my tank has almost always run really low nutrients. The last test was .01 po4 and 0 no3. I am joining a grow out contest and wanted to get a little help with some Reef Roids. I started feeding it last weekend and today I checked my nutrients. po4 is .18 and no3 2.5, granted I heavy handed it. Not bad numbers but not what I am use to seeing come up on the test. I think I am done with Reef Roids for now, lol.

I notice no difference in coral color and alk hasn't went up or down, so it seems the tank is just going with it.

I am pretty sure I got this one from Adam and it was labeled "Premoberry" but it looks nothing like it. It might of got mixed up with some of the others when I was moving corals around. I guess for now I will call it "No idea" and see what it looks like the more it grows out. If it looks familiar, let me know what you think it is.


No Idea

It almost looks like rr the vinh.

I wish the polyps were a different color but the base is a pretty color. When I look at TSA's pic the polyps look the exact same, so I believe that's the color they are going to stay.

I'll just wait for you to get the Merlin's Staff too and let me know which of the two to get. [emoji12]

The unreleased acro I got from wwc, looks just like the Merlin's Staff. It's purple with legit gold polyps.

Did you already snap a picture of it? I forget.

Bright purple and gold would be awesome!

I took a pic when it almost died. I put it up high when I got it as I never had issues before, it started bleaching so I had to lower it down. It recovered and looks pretty good now, I think it's about 75% back to what it was. It reminds me of a Crown Royal bag, lol.

It looks identical to the top pic on this page. I am sure as it darkens up it will look like the bottom. http://www.reeffarmers.com/routeeditionmerlinsstaff.htm

After talking about the WWC unreleased one. I figured I mine as well share it so I can at least document it's progress. It seems to be a decent grower as it went from almost dead to starting to encrust. I think the color needs to get deeper but the beauty is still there.

The polyps on it is what sold it for me.
This pic is a daylight pic.

I believe it will be!

I can try tonight. The problem is when it's just the actinic reef bars on, there isn't very much light the camera can use at the depth this frag is at. The pics turn out very dark and grainy.

Nice pics of your sticks!

Thank you!

Is that the WWC Aries Deep Purple Acropora?
