Ari's Avalanche

Ari's AvalancheWhat You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). Mother colony shown for reference in second pic. Recommended PAR: 300 400 Recommended Flow: Medium High Growth Rate: Medium Background: One time Vic from WWC told me the full history behind Ari's Avalanche. I can't repeat it all here, but I can assure you this is a piece that belongs in any Acropora collectors tank. Frags start out as a dull mix of green, purple, and brown. However, once this colony takes off it

but gets some amazing colors once it starts throwing new branches

Growth Rate: FastBackground: Fast growing red acro with bright yellow tips

it may be a long time before we cut more frags

Add on the bright purple growth tips

And it's super hardy and grows fast too

The grafting developed in our system as it grew out into a colony

it's well deserving of it's name

It displays a myriad of colors

The orange polyps contrast wonderfully against the blue/purple base

but that's purely speculation

Growth Rate: MediumBackground: Shaggy red polyps against a blue base makes this a stunning acro

A great piece to try if you're new to smoothskins and want something that's forgiving
