Ok just for you I tentatively have some acans and rics coming in. The only rics available are orange but I found some pretty nice A grade acans.

I have a few seperate chunks of this coral that I grouped together to make up a reasonable colony. Interestingly enough the different chunks are coloring up at very different rates and the frags have been even slower to color so far however they are all from the same original parent colony so I am not concerned. Anyway in the picture below you can see that the chunk on the right side has more color than the piece on the left but it is slowly catching up. I will tell you in advance that the frags of the PPS are healthy but are being very slow to color up and are still fairly browned out although my frag tanks are on a different system than my display with different lighting. That said, this is a coral I am excited about and it is a stunner. Given some time I don't think it will disappoint.

Hey Greg, thanks for the pic, I did recently purchased a piece that looked just like yours but it was sold to me as strawberry short cake but I did find a similar looking colony which was called strawberry lime cake. Just curious what you think. Above is my frag picture.

Thanks in advance for your time.

PPS should loose much of the green it's now showing. As things color up they often get green first and then switch to other colors.
The shortcake acros are typically a.microclados so there are bound to be some similarities.
