Other than Hawkins, your only hope might be a wild colony or a frag from a wild colony from an Aussie Shipment. I have had Ice Fire for a long time and it has not stood up well to the way that most folks want to keep their tanks nowadays with high residual building block levels, stripping out too many of the available sources of building blocks and also lower intensity light that is too heavy blue. This one still does well in tanks kept more like they were 10-15 years ago, but these are not as many. Ice Fire is not impossible nowadays, but certainly more difficult.

Hawkins is a totally different animal that seems to do well in most situations, but not all A. Echinata are like this.

I am not a good photo taker, but a pretty decent photo when mine was humming.

My lord, as someone who grows under white spectrum that is one heck of a beautiful blue echinata.
