!!!GRAB-BA-BA-BAGGIE BATTLEBOXES!!!

[Battlecorals]

Here is mine from yesterday!

Got a $300 10pc box and the growout Rainbow Army.. and 2 freebies!

Good was size, health and color are all A+! Tons of value fo sho! Fast communication when slight hiccup of forgetting the blue light 6pc "box" I was to get too, but no biggie.

Only "bad" was I didn't get more/sooner lol!
I did mention some favorites/ones I'd love to be included while we were discussing lighting, wants, etc from the BC site/pics I'd seen, and he said he'd accommodate and throw some in the box, but I didn't get any (, but I'm sure he is busy or out of stock on them, and if he forgets as much as me, no biggie either I guess.

Def recommend and hope I don't kill them in my tank lol!

Well I think I still owe you a six pack of blue lights. I still can’t believe I missed that. lol.

thanks a ton for the feedback! I gotta go watch that video

I'm sure they'll grow better in your hands for a bit longer, no biggie ;o)

So check the vid if you'd like to seeeeeee what I got! )

Nice, clear, concise unboxing!

More people need to post their corals after getting them!

I think Adam would be excited to see some 1 year or older shots of some of the frags he's sent over the years!

Besides just the contests!

That’s a great idea I’ll start hoping others do it too.
Here is my joker 2.0 when I got it mid November 2021

and here it is tonight, so about 15 months later

Just ordered my 3,742nd box. Going to ask Adam for the weirdest acros he can find.

I did that once....

They were amazing. But not ugly enough

I'm expecting my First BB on Wednesday.

Wondering why I went with the 4 piece, instead of 10...

Welcome to the fold! You'll love it.

Most of my SPS were wiped out in a series of unfortunate events. Starting fresh, I was thinking about making a run down to Vivid who are not far from me, then decided I'd rather give Adam a go at sticking out the new tank.

"Powered by Battle Corals" would make a good sticker.

I always like odd requests!

 

[reefrun]

Anyone else have pics of the Futuristic Casket or Cream Dream? Mine are getting some beautiful colors and I’d love to see how they look in other tanks

 

[happyhourhero]

Just ordered my first in my new tank. Can’t wait to see what this one contains!

 

[BranchingHammer]

So I received this amazing box in the mail on Tuesday!
Pictures are right after they went in the tank and not the best lol. Some of the frags are massive and the variety of colors and growth patterns is exactly what I wanted to diversify my collection! I'm holding them in my 25g shallow-water acro display that's plumbed to my main tank until I move them to their final locations. Thanks again Adam!

Yeah same here, the Bellicose is my favorite coral on the site, and I only just saw the "available" sign come up on it the other day, so I knew I had to snag it somehow. So excited to see how these grow out, especially with all the different species in the box.

Lurking the thread in anticipation of my box tomorrow and I thought I would post some 8 month growth shots of a few frags from a Battlebox I got last February. I have a couple others that came in at the same time but I haven't photographed recently.

Are are some images from a Battle Box I received 3 weeks ago; I wanted to wait a little bit to be sure that the Space Laser that came in a little worse for wear pulled through.

Here is the list of what I got (!):

Here is the Space Laser that I thought for sure was a goner but has continued to survive and hasn't lost any additional tissue since arrival Nov 11th:

And some poor quality iPhone images day of arrival:

^ You can notice a nice tenuis on the right that was included in the Battle Box and labeled as "Mystery Frag". Adam also included a backup frag of the Blue Ghost for the grow-out contest so there were actually 8 frags in my box!

Here the mystery teni is mounted under blue LEDs. You can barely make it out at this size with my poor camera quality but the polyps are pink, the radial corallites have a yellow hue to them, and the tips go from turquoise to violet. A spectacular piece!

When unpacking, I am ashamed to admit that I lost the Vectorman bag in the unlit sump and ended up getting him in the tank in the late evening when the fuge lights came on and I realized my grave error. Vectorman was no worse for wear. One huge perk of this coral (and something I think that other people with angelfish may appreciate) is that it is the only acropora I have in my tank that the angelfish does not have a taste for. I have Acropora yongei, donei, echinata, millipora, tenuis, nobilis, secale, subulata, tortuosa, microclados, divaricata, hoeksemai, and a dozen unidentified species, and my angelfish loves all of those fleshy polyps but is leaving this Acropora schmitti alone. No idea what reason that is, but I am loving having an Acropora I can actually see the polyps on without having to turn on the lights at 1am.
