A lot of damage was done to mine by a chalice with some incredibly long stingers before I realized and moved it. Just now starting to pick up again:

Does anyone know who has the left over part of this colony that was fragged at the frag workshop for this compention. I'm wondering if I could possibly another frag of it for my tank in general? My contest peice died a few months back.

PM me and give me a reminder Thursday night/Fri morning for CFM. I'll bring ya a frag.

encrusting and coloring up after plug change due to algae.

Grabbed a couple pics.
More growth and color is intensifying!

@ReyDeFarts Looking awesome!

A little update for everyone. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention, that what was handed out as BC Adam Bomb, is not that. After many conversations with folks outside of BAR, including Adam from Battle Coral, and considerations from the BOD, I have removed the name BC Adam Bomb from the contest. What we all likely have is called PC Rainbow but there is no certainty to that. Some of us are not in agreement to this identification, but that is the consistent ID I was receiving using multiple images from different tanks for reference. This will continue as only a generic SPS.

@Arvin R is already aware of this change, since he has been kind enough to keep and grow some of this to give out to the club.

@under_water_ninja Please be advised of this change with your current colony/frags.

Nothing special happening other than some new encrusting growth since I had to remount it.

Seems 200-250 par isn’t quite enough to color it up.

Starting to get some nice colors - the new growth in particular now has this pretty pearly blue color with magenta tips.

Edit - gets about 450 PAR and high flow in this new spot.

If this is really is a pc rainbow, I have noticed in my tanks that high par will likely turn it completely red. If you want to maintain some yellow, prolly need a lower amount of par.
