I was trying to think of an analogy.. people give me a fair amount of compliments on my fungia coral, but to me it’s the exact same as when I got it, it’s very easy, doesn’t need much attention, similar to when you buy a house with a full grown beautiful hardwood tree on the property. Family and friends stop by, they may compliment your massive tree, but you didn’t grow it yourself, it doesn’t mean as much. Acros are like the freshly hatched bird that fell out of the tree in a storm, anxiously chirping and battered on the cold earth, awaiting greatness or death, and you make the call. You take the baby bird inside, make it a perfect temporary home, warm a towel to keep it warm, feed it cream of wheat through a syringe and pray it regains enough strength to live and grow into a beautiful bird. Let’s say it lives past this stage, no one coming by your home is going to complement this goofy little “frag” of a bird you saved, it’s the most work you’ve done recently for an animal and the only one who knows the time and research you put in is you. Your bird is strong now, it’s getting some adult bright beautiful feathers, you release it. This bird still could run into a few sliding glass doors and rtn but in general it’s healthy and every time you see that bird sitting back up in that tree as an adult, an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment overcomes you. That’s acros for ya.

Very well said.

Moved my bi-color indo branching Frammer a few days ago, my flow was beating it up in the 90. It looks so weird now in lower flow but happier than it did.

Going to transfer my metallic red Goni I got from the Legendary Corals giveaway to the 90 soon, I just need to find a good spot for it.

@mattzang This is what my mutant frammer is supposed to look like for reference lol. Some heads are blue or half blue like in the pic below, it just is hard to capture with kessil lights and iPhone camera.
