My Ca = 430 ~ 480 ppm, Mg = 1350 ~1450 ppm, KH = 7.5dKH steady

A follow-up picture took yesterday (March 2, 2017)

Nice growth Shih.
Yours grows so densely. Very interesting.
I love the shades of pink and purple in there.

Geeray · 03/04/2017, 08:48 AM

Here's mine, still just a frag and still has some some coloring up to do...

I wonder if it would be Reef Raft OP or something else. There's no way to know for sure I guess.

reefmutt · 03/04/2017, 09:52 AM

Nope..
here's a macro of another colony I have growing in my frag tank.
I don't have this in my display. Not sure if it came from Fragbox or not but I got it from a local reefer about two years ago.. I think I'll add a piece to the display and see if it's any different from my current colony..

reefmutt · 03/04/2017, 09:55 AM

This is a pic of the colony in my display from 10 months ago..more orange back then.. looked better then..

Geeray · 03/04/2017, 10:01 AM

what are your nutrient levels now?

reefmutt · 03/04/2017, 11:13 AM

Current nutrient are: n 30-40 ppm and p .1 ppm
I've always believed that the op looks best in lower nutrient systems.

watchguy123 · 03/04/2017, 12:04 PM

I have three different versions of this acro, RR USA Orange Passion, RR Canada Orange Passion and RR Canada Ultimate Orange Passion. So here are three progression photos of the RR USA Orange Passion over time and different lighting.

Here is a picture I posted on this thread from January 2016 of RR USA Orange Passion

RR USA Orange Passion from I believe january 2017, so about a years growth

And this is the same RR USA Orange Passion under XHO's lighting taken last week, February 2017

reefmutt · 03/04/2017, 01:19 PM

Wow! The orange polyps are amazing!
That's like Ed's op

Awesome growth formation and branch thickness on this piece! Well done! I love how well the coralites on your piece are forming in high flow and light. Is this a wild or maricultured piece or did you get this from a place with lineage to one of the original corals?

That's what I said too! xD. I suggested Shih brand it as Shih's OP.

Your top down shots are always amongst the best on RC. It does not seem to matter the angle or the corals. They are always incredible pics.

I have noticed that my best colors are always when my N is around 20 or more . I just get uneasy holding it there long. For me, it seems that N can go up as long as P stays down.

First off, congrats on nice development over the year period. The piece not only got bigger but looks healthier and happier.

I am still just blown away by the difference in appearance just between different types of lighting. When I first saw the pics I thought I was seeing a pic of each of the three types that you have. Pretty cool that it is the same piece with the last two very recent but with different lighting.
