I’ll play along but mine are still new and haven’t colored up yet. First one is Horrida and the bottom one looks like a milli. It is turning neon green with white polyps.

Beautiful! I have failed very year with horridas. I’ve tried and tried.

Man, if I didn't make a conscious effort to avoid green, my whole tank would be monotone. There's so Many cool green corals.

If I had a large tank if wouldnt matter so much since I could space them out and add other colors, but in a 10 I need to take more of a planned approach.
The fact that you can keep acros alive in a 10gl makes you a genius in my book, I couldnt imagine trying to manage swings in that little of water, hats off sir

I've noticed that i get more PE with more nutriwnts/food in the water.

But with that said, if it ain't broke don't fix it. If your corals are healthy and happy let em be. PE alone isn't indicative of health, nor is a lack thereof indicative of a lack of health.

But if your nutrient levels are very low, it could be a sign and you could definitely try bringing them up.
I would say the exact opposite,,,, less nutrients equals better pe , and less color,, more nutrients equals less pe and better color, pe seems better to me when they are searching for food, my.02

I absolutely love this coral, so you have more pics of it? I have a piece that’s basically the same thing and it grows so slow but I love the red and green in it, rare for a true stag.

Hey There,
I do have few more pics of the Hugo Rainbow stag. It is absolutely beautiful, thick branching stag. Like most stag, it is relatively fast grower. I think Unique corals might have frags for sale or if you ever in Los Angeles, I can cut you a frag (sorry, do not ship).

First 2 pics are under white light, and the last one is under blue light.

Beautiful! Does yours get green near the base? Hopefully if mine doesn’t kick it into gear I can get one with lineage and have better luck, although Mine is probably from the same coral just don’t remember where it came from.
Sorry for the text taking up space in your pic thread op :). I would share but polyp extension isn’t a big thing in my tank, except at night.

Mine has no green at the base.Possibly different acro. Hope yours will grow faster. Good luck.
