NoobtoSalt Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alright well as many of you know I've been breaking down my tank for the past week or so. Well I was moving around some rock tonight and low and behold I found some type of acro growing on my rock that I had no idea was there. It's only a couple inches big at the most but it has a lot of sprouts out of it. I'm no SPS guy for sure but it looks pretty cool. Any chance this thing will continue to thrive? I just got to thinking and I had fragged what I thought was the whole thing off this rock many months ago to another member here when I was breaking down the 120 gallon. I was going to put the rock in a tub in the next few days but I guess I will hold off for now until I get my little nano going. Maybe if Smann (Steve) see's the thread he can post up a picture of the original piece that I sold him. Either way just thought this was kind of cool.

reefnjunkie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It'll grow, I had 1 acro I sold off to Kim and Beth about a year+ ago that now has grown back into a small colony, I thought I popped the whole piece of the rock but there was a sliver left that grew- It'll just take some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked that piece to begin with but didn't want to kill off the sps. This piece has been in the shade the whole time so I have no idea how it was able to stick around for so long. Maybe this is my ticket into sps again...DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well your picture sure does put mine to shame..(laugh) Thanks for posting it up. I'm hoping it will color up again once I figure out what I'm going to do for a future tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That coral really took off and both started growing right towards each other, I'm going to have to take off some branches, I think it has tripled in size since I got it from you, very nice piece!
