Frag was glued to this rubble rock so long ago I actually forgot what it was. Truth is, until recently I thought it was a green acro of some sort. Now that the frag is maturing it's tinting red.

The green is metallic.

Back and away...

Three distinct branches with and a newby branch starting. About an inch high and the encrusted portion is about a silver dollar size.

Free to the first noob that posts here. This will prevent the massive amount of pms I got last time.
The definition of "noob" will be up to you. If you consider yourself a noob, it's yours.

On your mark... POST!!!!

A noob may not know but a frag like this is not really for a NOOB it should go to someone with a well established tank Just my 2 cents.

Psyko,

Do you have a tank that's up and running? I don't place restrictions on these frags, but you do have to have water in your tank and cycled.

If you don't... How about you, reactoracer? Your tank cycled yet? Lights? I grew this guy under T5s, and it's very hardy. If your tank is cycled and psyko isn't ready, then it's yours.

If you need a week or three I can hold onto it.

Barry,

Just trying to pass along to some others the kindness that was shown to me. I disagree that this frag belongs in a well established tank... Unless you mean a cycled tank then I agree completely. It grows like digitata and is as hardy as hardy sps go.

Don't get the wrong ideas guys, I need to get it out of the tank. But if you don't have a cycled tank...

yes the tank is cycled. I already have a lot of other coral in it and fish. I just set the tank up but the live rock has been in a plastic tub with a pump for avery long time and before that in a running tank. I have power compacts at the moment but am about to but ai sols in like a week. I just threw it out there to see if I would get the coral since I am new to corals.

I have a 70 gallon corner reef tank up for a few months now. It's under VHO actinics and a 250 mh. The other tank I'm working on is the result of the curse I apparently inherited when I started this hobby..lol...must....have...more.... I can take care of the frag and I'll pass it back along when the time comes.

Reactor, dude, did you miss this part of my post?

I had to re-read what I wrote to make sure I wasn't out of line. If you still feel I was wrong LMK and I will be happy to cut you a frag, no worries.
