Tri Color Acro?

[Cannoy]

I bought this frag from someone and its suppose to be a tri color acro. Will it eventually get more color?

If conditions are right, yes. GL.

Guess ill just wait and see. If I put it under just UV light the tips turn green.

+1 to this. It looks like the skin is intact but it's about light and water Params. Tri colors usually turn brown upon fragging (most sps take a beating).

Is this your first sps?

This is my first sps.

Acros are very picky, they require pristine water and good strong lighting. On top of that they don't like changes so the water Params need to be stable.

Tell me a little about your setup and husbandry? Acros can go south in oh 4 seconds once they decide they don't like it.

The tank is just a 20 gallon with AI prime's. Not sure about the current parameters will test them tomorrow. The frag has also been in there less than a week

Ok loghting is good just make sure the intensity isn't cranked all the way. Get a good battery of tests done, salifert kits are good to get.

For now, with a 20g tank a 5g a week water change that uses quality salt, well mixed and at the correct temp will go a long way towards supporting tha acro.

Ok, thanks for the info.
