Sold as Walt Disney....
Im skeptical, but the owner said it was nearly dead and now recovered. Assuming thats true, i suppose that could be why im not seeing all the colors, but ive not seen a Disney this hairy before....so im skeptical this is actually a WD acro. Thoughts?

WD gets pretty hairy.
They can look different under different trick lighting - RB dioes different than other blends and types of blue. They are just brownish green and very hairy under 14k. Did the seller have lineage back to Big R? |

Most people can't color it up. I haven't ever been able to pull the colors out that I have "seen" others do. I've moved it around for years with different lighting ect. No Bueno.

Is that in updated pic of your colony shih? I like that piece and have been wondering how yours has been doing.
With all the insane tenuis sitting in Bali right now I don't care to even try to get a frags of any of these named tenuis. I would bet when corals start moving overseas again there will be a bunch of nice stuff to get. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk |

Very nice, thanks for sharing! That's some very nice looking new growth, it actually matches the original wild growth. Looks to be tabling some, I am used to tenuis growing more bushy, I wonder if it will keep growing out rather than up.
