Hey. I bought another A. Microclados from DFS. This one has some cool coloration with many different colors. Pink, Yellow, Green, Purple, Red. Definitely interested to see it color up more. It has been in the tank 3 days when these pics were taken.

Strawberry Shortcake is also a Microclados but this one definitely has different coloration.

Yes the shortcakes are acro microlados, but then what is the "upscale microclados" because it's certainly not the same as a shortcake?

Yea there are many different colors of microclados. Strawberry shortcake is the most popular. The one I have posted pictures of does not look like SS that I have had before. However, it could just need to color up more. There is more purple in this one than the pictures show.
