Acropora awi

[Ibn]

Picked this one up due to it's unusual growth pattern; reminds me of the echinata. Not 100% positive on the description, other than the fact that it's not an echinata; possibly a A. awi according to Karl.

2 small frags available, about 3/4" each.

Pickup at the BBQ, meet, or any time after 6 PM on weekdays.

Hi Eric, I would love to have a frag of this. Can I get one?

 

[Ibn]

Thanks. Instead of the colors, I bought this one for the shape.

Sure thing, Perry. I'll make a frag for you and drop it off. Haven't seen your tank in awhile, so I'll contact you sometime this coming week.

 

[jkreefer]

is there still one left? I will be at the meeting on Saturday.

 

[Ibn]

Yup, I can cut one more. You want it? Let me know if you do and I'll bring it Saturday.

 

[jkreefer]

would love it. Saturday would be great

 

[Ibn]

Frags made. I'll bring it to you this Saturday. I'll contact you soon, Perry.

 

[xinumaster]

Let me know early when you are dropping by so I clean the front of tank.

 

[Ibn]

PM sent. If you're available after 6 PM tomorrow, I'll bring the frag by.

Does polyps on you mother colony ever open up?

 

[Ibn]

Yup, they do open up. It's very much like A. echinata, with the polyps at the end of each. Even the other frag that I brought back is showing the polyp extension.

Still have a frag of this left if anyone is interested. jkreefer?

 

[jkreefer]

pm sent

 

[Ibn]

Got your PM. No worries. The frag is still around if you want it. I can hold onto it indefinitely, haha.

 

[Ibn]

Perry, didn't see any polyp extension on the frag at your place, but here are some that are on the parent colony.

They're relatively small vs. something like the raspberry millepora.

 

[xinumaster]

Wow. That is so pretty.

I moved the frag a little bit more lower but polyps still won't come out. I guess I might just have to wait more time before I move it again.

 

[Ibn]

Yeah, I think the color is finally showing up. The main body is going reddish/brown and there's a hint of purple showing up on the tips. The polyps are tiny (went 1:1 on the lens and then stacked 68mm of extension tubes to get that shot).

[Ibn]

Yup, still have the frag that JK wasn't able to pick up. You're welcomed to it if you want. If JK still wants it, I'll just frag him a new piece. Next meet?
