Okay...thought I'd post a weekly update. The AOG palys have one baby started, the goniopora is at 10 heads including some little ones, and the acro is starting to go from stark white to something a bit more colored...but still pretty white looking. Hoping it'll color up soon...it's at least got a bunch of little filament-looking things sticking out at times. First acro...so not exactly sure what I'm looking for on it. Any advice welcome! :-)256902569125692

Those filaments are polyps. If it is extending polyps then it is happy. I'm glad to hear your frags are doing well.

[klwheat]

Thanks Dean...hoping it will continue to color up. the pics of the original colony look amazing!

[klwheat]

Sorry for the late update...school finals were killing me! Anyway...here they are. The AOG palys have beautiful color...loving that addition. Still at 4 heads. The red goniopora has 13 heads plus a couple of babies that I can see so far. The acro is continuing to color up a bit...still kinda white...but darker now. It has polyps out almost all the time and the polyps are getting some cool color to them as well.2586825869258702587125872

New pics! 4 good sized palys, the acro looks good, and the Goni has more heads than I can count without taking it out of the tank...over 20 anyway. Love these colors, but still hoping to see the colors that the acro used to have.259342593525936

Ok...time for an update. Well, my Goni was doing well...over 25 heads before I lost count. Then I did 3 days lights-out to get some gha under control...and it hasn't opened at all since...that's been 5 days now with no extension from my Goni 😞.
The palys are doing well...I love the color. Up to 7 heads now.
The acro seems to be getting bigger...though tough to tell. It's also getting better color finally and has good polyp extension - although I just finished a water change an hour ago so it looks a little upset still...lol. Love reading how everyone is doing. Any advice??2602626027260282602926030

Hey Larry
If you have the goni where it is in medium to high light and you went lights out for 3 days then lights back on and it still in the same spot you may want to put it in lower light and re-acclimate to higher light again. Just a guess...

[klwheat]

Thanks Dean. It's actually only about 4" off the sand, but pretty much centered under the radion. Maybe too much of a light shock? I just adjusted it down by about 50% and set it for a two week acclimation period to come back up. Hoping that'll do the trick �� it was looking sooooo pretty!

[klwheat]

Yeah! It's starting to open again!! 😄26045

Ok...photo update. The Goni is doing well again...can't count the heads though...lol. 8 heads now in the Paly...and I love it's color. The acro is continuing to color up and is definitely growing...both longer off the plug and wider to the edges of the plug.261082610926110
