About a year ago my tank was full of acros. Had over 40 different types. Anyway had a bleaching event and lost them all over a period of a month. Soon after that a huge cyno epidemic broke out which I fought for a good year. I recently won... well put a hurting on the cyno and a rock that has been covered from the start had a little spot of green on it. After a week it started taking shape and turns out to be my Bali green slime is coming back. I can't believe it survived all that.

That's pretty spectacular! I'm really sorry you lost all of your pieces.
If there's any pieces you really want to add back to your collection let me know as I'd be more then happy to help you get your collection back going. I know how it feels to loose the battle.

Just a tri color. I'll post a picture in a second. It was my first acropora and I grew it to a football size.

Unfortunately you asked for one of the only (not really lol) acro's I don't have lol. I'm guessing that's a Tri color Valida?
I have a couple tri color Acro's though
Tyree Bali Tri color
Tri color tenius
Also a couple different Rainbow Acro's.

I got the tri color from spikes corals. I'm sure he has some more. The last time I order like 4 frags and he gave me 3 acros for free including the tri color.

Jason do you have any Elkhorn Coral in your tank or Acropora Palmata I tried to get some a couple times a couple years back but never had any luck. Their on the protection list so I don't think retailers can sell them. Only way would be hobbyist and where it goes through state lines it's not easy to advertise you want to buy one on one of the bigger sites. Did you have one before the losses? If so I wish I would of got a piece from you! Lol |

No just a coral I've wanted for years. Maybe you can do a frag pack for me of 1 inch acro frags? Maybe some basic ones just to see how they will do. I'm not ready to try anything to costly. Even though it's been a year I'm still on edge about acros. It's hard getting over a loss like that. Almost put me out of the hobby to be honest.
