What is this coral? I must have it

[duncangweller]

Hi all,

Was just looking up RR Diablo online and saw a Canreef thread on the topic. It had this picture on and I couldn't quite make sense of the thread as to what this coral was being called.

If you can help me out it would be much appreciated.....I REALLY want a piece.

If you find those for $25, I'll take one too :)

Dunc,

I've got some :)
However you might need to add another digit to that $25 ahaha

It is called Red Convexa. I obtained my original piece, now a colony, from Darryl as well. Here is a recent WYSIWYG frag we just shipped out.

[duncangweller]

Thomas....you mean like $25.0?

[Aquattro]

Oh, I have red convexa. It's currently upside down between a couple rocks. I should go save it :)

Yes, but yours is not a RR Convexa Brad. So remove a digit.

[Aquattro]

LOL

It's ok, I just saved it :)

Mine grows upside down between rocks. Add 2 digits :)

Cool, I didn't know that's how it works. I have some brown zoas growing upside down between rocks that you can have for 2 extra digits. I'll throw in extra polyps in the spirit of Black Friday.

Is this it?

That's the one I have. Never looked like the original pic you posted.

The photo posted in the first post is a Red Convexa. It was one of my frags I sold. There was a lot of people passing off the Red Convexa as the Diablo frag when it frist came out.

Do you still have the original red convexa colony to frag from?

I do not. It is (well was) a fairly common coral in Ontario due to its fast growth and relative ease at keeping.

I would try MJC corals, likely they will have it at the best price and it is guaranteed to be from Darryl V.

I will have some insane acros being posted Monday night. A few are very similar.

Since you posted a picture from my website I will chime in.
:smile:
In my experience the red convexa generally only gets the green while in a color "transition state" - it goes from brown to green to red and a mix of there of until it finishes coloring up to rusty red. I find it only keeps the green accents under low light but when kept in insufficient lighting it grows much slower.
In the picture below that was taken this weekend from inside my display tank you can see part of a convexa colony in the left hand back ground.
