That Supergrape frag was born mid-Oct 2009! It has always had good color, but pretty much did nothing until about 6 weeks ago it encrusted the frag rack and started putting out a bunch of new branches.
Zoaelite: Omg, that Candlelight Acro is such a pain in the butt. I bought it Sept 10, 2009 and it was ok colored, but the brown was moving in hard, although I figured "It'll color up real quick". Two days after I bought it, it was 100% dark brown.
In Nov 2009 I fragged a small piece off and gave it to a friend with a real nice SPS tank. In July 2010 it
started to show a bit of growth on the tips, and this new growth had some color! Now, there is about 1 1/2" of new growth with the color, but the older parts of the coral remain brown. The brown has lightened up a bit, but I don't know if it will actually color up or not. The frag I gave my friend just started growing and showing color now too. So, that was 10 months of full on brown before there was
any growth or color. Now, I can tell it's time to change my GFO because the colors fade. It is SO finicky!
