This one is from Bill@IA, which he labelled as a neon suharsonoi (it is very yellow in my tank, even more so than when this pic was taken):

Hawkins frag from dvanacker:

06bug · 05/24/2012, 11:34 AM

Nice Hawkin's frag. I got my frag of 2 small branches about 3 months ago, but it seems to be a slow grower. Most of my other sps have grown and encrusted their rock in that time.

secrest · 05/24/2012, 11:35 AM

That hawkins is really nice. I think I have a new coral to add to my wish list

Doesn't seem to be much of an encruster, that is for sure. You think the frag is nice, you should see the mother colony in dvanacker's tank (his thread is here... http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1910505)

rogerwilco357 · 05/24/2012, 12:12 PM

man that is some serious color love the branches awesome..

mikid · 05/24/2012, 05:08 PM

great picture of the hawkins I presume, the color is insane!

rogerwilco357 · 05/24/2012, 10:31 PM

it looks like a echanita aussie.

kentuckyclowns · 05/26/2012, 09:15 AM

I hope I don't sidetrack the thread. Are deep water acros a form of acros that require less light? Never heard of this classification before.

franklypre · 05/26/2012, 02:00 PM

deepwater acros are typically the smooth skin verision. Though honestly they are likely maricultured in the same place as all the other acros/monti so it's just a marketing ploy. Not to say there aren't some really nice smooth skin acros and perhaps there is an aspect of the "deepwater" that I don't know about, to me they are just another nice catagory of acro.

joao junior · 05/26/2012, 03:06 PM

These deep water acropora go better in low lights??

sponger0 · 05/26/2012, 03:18 PM

It doesnt mean they do better in low lights...but they do take longer for acclimation to lights.

dvanacker · 05/26/2012, 06:19 PM

They definitely arent light hogs but they can take a decent amount of light. Mid to lower flow and light in an SPS tank usually.

That white-skinned DWA with the blue tips as sick! Anyone know what it may be?

Achilles18 · 05/26/2012, 09:18 PM

I'd place mine in the middle areas of my tank, & lokani grows like weeds
