This contest really highlights the inadequacy of my photo taking skills.

The quality of Thomas’ polyps are a 10/10 for me. The photo taking skills…

Title: Polyp Forest

Taken of my frag tank, Sep 25, with a pixel 7, no edits beyond cropping.

Edit: oops, forgot the whole "DM the pic" thing. I just like the picture, doesn't need any award.

Congrats!!! What acro is this? It's very subtle but you can see multiple colors especially in the new growth tips. Lovely stick.

Lol, mine only has the yellow green color. Derek must sprinkle some magic dust on his, and hasn't shared the secret ingredients. Even my new growth is the same color.

Probably a very stable tank would be my first guess. That's my struggle still. Is just getting the parameters to a good baseline and holding it there. That and really good light and flow.

Lots of @ReeFi lighting

My parameters are all fairly typical. The WD is a pretty robust coral, IMO. Grows well, looks good, seems always happy. It does get a ton of light and flow!

I have a 2nd mp10 I need to get installed, just got the mobius chip for it. I tested it before on a different tank was making crazy noise, so hopefully nothing is broke inside the wet side. Will try to test it again once i figure out the mobius upgrade. Hopefully with two mp10s flow should be no longer a issue and the sps may be more happy. Everything is really growing just the color isn’t there or crazy polyps extension .
