I have been adding iodine too, hmmmm.

Im trying an experiment right now. I running only the blue and royal blue LEDs for 3 days(no whites), see if the whites are bleaching them, worth a shot.

This coral came from a local collector

I think I have seen a similar acro in the display tank in the back at strickly fish...could be wrong. But if someone confirms, they sometimes do frag items in that tank.

Yes, it is a beautiful acro, I saw it 2 weeks ago but they do not know if they will frag it.. what about the Black Tang in that tank? amazingly beautiful!

Very pleasing find, must look happy in your reef. Don't think yours is the same as Manny's pic, which I believe is a cerealis.

it could be an Aussie version of a cerealis if so, this one has much thicker branches, or it could be a similar looking but total different like the milliporas and the similar looking but much thicker Aussie, Acropora Spathulata with I have one side by side to a huge Aussie millipora. I'll post a picture.
