Rosco's Blue Acropora

[BigH55]

Went to the LFS and picked up a frag of this. Couldn't resist. Anyone keep these with success?

I had one that was growing great with awesome colors.Then the dinos hit:pissed:
Same as any other Acro.Great water quality,stable parameters,a lot of chaotic flow,and a lot of light.

Ive got all the above, Im starting to get into SPS again and am a little leary. Since the first go around didnt fair so well. I think when a transfered everything from my 75 to my 110, I had a mini cycle and the sps i had got wiped out.

"dinos"? I'm just getting into corals, so what are dinos?

Dinoflagelates they aren't very common to get but they can be reef killers! Yote can probably explain them better than I

The easiest way to explain em.Overnight death to corals and algae eating inverts.
I kinda wish I had taken a pic of em.Having the best water quality in the world wont stop them.Water changes make them spread faster.
I went to bed that night with my tank looking awesome.Corals growing fast with great colors.The next morning,it looked like black cyano covering every rock in the tank.
