Your tank looks great as usual! I have a very similar A exquisita that has also been ID'ed as such. Does yours get neon green highlights on the tips of the corallites? It took almost a year to acclimate to my tank, and frags that I've given away have been terrible to acclimate too.

as always thanks for the kind words Myka!!!! Yes the exquisita does have neon green highlights on the tips of the corallites. This is one of my original frag in the system and I've seen a little bit of the neon green highlights before but not as promenant as now.

It's alright I guess.

nah, it's pretty inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

It's a fussy piece, eh? Very changeable. Mine was doing real good until I cleaned my return pump near Christmas and didn't realize the darn stag was sticking out of the water by 3". :o

I know what you mean, there is still a lot more room to improve specially with the color.

thank you for the kind words neoh!!!!!

hopefully you didn't have your lights on...... the yellow/green acro behind it fades every time i do a water change coz just like you about 3" of is exposed to the air and my lights are on, so since then I've cut my water change from 20 gallon to 15 gallon just to ensure that this coral stays in the water.....

Oh but I did! :eek: The tips were out of the water for about an hour with halides baking them. Needless to say, they soon after received a 3" trim. :sad:

just to keep this post going, here are a few FTS taken mid year. A handful of the larger colonies have since been removed to make room for some of those SPS in the frag rack. As the holiday is upon us I will have some time to play around again with the camera!
