Tristanfish shares some unbelievably beautiful coral pictures. The frag you received looks beautiful. The photos of tristanfish's corals are all amazing. It would be fun to see those in person because there are so many beauties.
He varies his lighting a lot with his coral photos and it is sometimes difficult to know what lighting scheme he was using, the coral colors vary so much from picture to picture. I presume he does that to show all the various colors under different lighting. I follow his posts on r2r and his stuff is crazy.
I hope this colors up as expected. I am not sure his original photo really shows black but the coloring is cool nonetheless. Looking forward to your photos and sharing this pretty acro frag's growth. Certainly if anyone can get this coral to maximum coloration, it is you.
