Someone asked for an updated picture of our Pink Lemonade Acro and Brie took some amazing photos. Just thought I would share.

Does anyone know if this is really a pink lemonade coral? The ones I've seen look totally different, but I'm not expert, so I don't know. I love how this one looks and wouldn't mind having a frag (naughty)

It looks like Pink Lemonade. The yellow on my piece is a little more green. I think depending on the light intensity you can get it to change little. Awesome pic and coral. Thx for sharing.

Ours is kept under 400w Elos 20K Abyss Halide. We also have a small piece growing under 150w DE 14K Phoenix w/ T5 and the pink is a slightly different shade. More of a raspberry color. Thanks all:)

There's about 6" of water and 8" from the top of the tank to the bottom of the bulb. Lumen Arc Reflector and the bulb is pretty much centered over the coral. The colony came to us from a T5 only tank where it showed more of a green body and less pink. Under the bright halide light the colors really improved.

That would be a problem then:) LED would be a great experiment. Throw a Radion over it, play with the spectrum, see what kind of color you can achieve. Granted thats a $750 experiment.
