A couple of different colored acros
this is a small frag that I recently got from a colleague, reef raft something--its dark green blue tips and yellow at the very tip--hope it turns out to be interesting. Next to it (on the right) is the scc planet earth. Red convexa and it blows my mind every time. Its a beautiful red. The only issue is that when I trimmed it, it sent out crazy multibranching and I liked its previous branching pattern better. I assume the branching and fusing is a defense mechanism to make it bulkier and stronger and more resistant to storm surges or in this case, bone cutters. And now, a couple of purple examples.

Wild colony that I have had for some time, orange polyps and blue tips--its crazy
Not yet famous prostrate--I let a friend talk me into fragging a piece for him. Check out all the colors in this thing. A no namer I got from Leo Chen a while ago--I love the irridescent colors and yes, that is what it really looks like Nick's Bubble gum Millie--as usual half the colony is happy and the other half isn't. The unhappy half can be partially seen in the background |

Mr. Pacman, does not have that great body color that I've seen on some pics but maybe as it gets bigger, who knows
metallic/sapphire millie I think this is the lightning horrid Good ol "joe the coral" ice fire echinata, atleast one of the many versions floating around. This is a really slow grower but has a very cool white body A very cool acro, I am hoping these polyps turn out red which is what I am counting on. |

I am amazed by your pictures. For me these are some of the most true to life colours I have ever seen. When I attempt to take pictures this is what I see in my mind but have a hard time capturing. Great job and look forward to more.
I have some of these pieces like convexa and the Cousin of SSC as well but do not have the same colour, you have given me something to strive for Thanks again Dwayne

The tank looks amazing as always. I really like some of those no-makers you have. How's the switch in the lighting effecting everything? Pros and cons??

Hey Mark,
I have been doing some research about the Mr.Pacman, I think yours is actually one of the cool deep water dragon acros. I noticed that the metallic/sapphire millie looks different in each photo. In the first photos it was more fuzzy. Its really an awesome piece. The two bubble gum milles are sweeeet. Which one did I get :P Keep em coming !!

Amazing colours. It's such a treat to visit your thread. I do envy your success and hope I can achieve the same. I love the colour in your Icefire and Sapphire Millepora.
Keep the photos coming. Perhaps the colours will even improve with the Radium. |

Holy cannoli Mark!! Just beautiful! How many fish do u have & how often do u feed-- I see it's just flakes, pellets and fish fertilizer? What's your water change routine-- how much/often? And just for the heck of it-- what salt do u use? Thanks and please keep with the updates.

I only change 10 gallons a week because that's all my back can handle. When I planned the tank, I did not place it where I could set up a nifty water exchange system. I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I buy both my ro/di water and salt water from two different LFS. I just did not want to buy any more electric equipment--it seems to be working out ok. I guess I really should buy an ro/di unit but it will end up in the garage and mess up my uncluttered garage. I probably should find a thread on mixing salt water!
