    How does that look under actinics? Wondering how florescent it is! Looks amazing!

    Very awesome Matt! And no, surprisingly I got this a little over a year ago as "assorted acro colony small" from Bali. It looked completely different when I got it in, totally different growth pattern, barely yellow, no colored tips, no PE, etc. Took a while for it to do anything but finally some of the frags started to grow... And they were growing completely different than the mother colony! So I passed out a few frags that were growing to my friends and it quickly became a favorite of Jason's ;)
    Look for it at large swaps or MACNA this year... It's now his most expensive acro @ $100 a frag!

    It glows even under normal halides! But it is a very bright yellow under actinics... And the polyps even shine too :)

    Wow that is nice. Love the color and structure. It's not too close to that pink/red prostrata is it?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    To me it looks like a cross between an Orchid, Pink Lemonade and Valida, but I need more images to be certain lololol.

    You would be surprised at how fast it grows now! I would be more concerned about the prostrata if you ask me lol

    I'll get you two more when I am home tonight

    frags for the low price of $100 are available from Jason fox right now. I like to let my colonies get large before I start cutting them... So probably about 6-8 more months before I offer it... Haha and my price won't be anywhere close to $100

    Sweet! That's great, congrats! Interestingly, some of my favorites came from an "assorted acro colony small" on sale on one of the online vendors... Great when you get a good surprise out of those.
