Bowerbank&Hillae

What ever they are?

 

[gflat65]

I think these are Bowerbanki's...

Not good color rendition... It's actually more of a neon orange with a tealish inner ring. This is my favorite.

Just got this from Atlantis and it doesn't look as nice as the pic I got from their website. How do you guys make your photos look as good as theirs? LOL

Good lights, good lens, and good camera... PS helps clean up the haze and adjust the color thrown off from the blue lighting... Sometimes I don't have to do any adjustments, sometimes I do....

This is all I could do with the pic you posted, because Photobucket knocks down the resolution...

That and I don't know what your actual coral looks like, so its hard to get a true representation... I hate it when people Photoshop the p!ss out of things and it doesn't even resemble what they actually have...

 

[Hooci]

I agree Randy, I hate it when they photoshop too. I am glad because it is starting to get better color not that its been fed and taken care of. I apreciate your feedback. Hooman

I have these two. Kinda beat up from shipping......I'll get up some new pictures when they recover

just out of curiosity...what is the difference between a hillae and a bowerbanki?

Supposedly the red one is a hillae, and the purple and green one is a bowerbanki...at least that's what the wholesaler said

~D

Juicey, congrats on the new corals they are beautiful.

Those both look like bowerbanki to me. If you look up a few pics at Montri's post, his 1st pic is bowerbanki and that 2nd pic is a hillae, IMO. You can see the polyp structure difference in those pics, to compare yours to.

 

[JUICE!]

They look the same to me :-D either way...I like em!

 

[ct_vol]

Me too Juicey... They're some of my favorite corals... I'm surprised that more people haven't been posting pics...

Whoa guys. Sorry for the happy posting finger.

 

[JUICE!]

nice pics HOOCI! what kind of camera are you using? I have new pics of the red bowerbanki.....but the picture sucks

it's more red than pink in person

 

[Hooci]

hey juicy thanks. Pics are hard to get perfect. I suck at it. Cristina took these with trial and error. These were taken with a sony 7.2 DSC t30.
Any of those hillaes look familiar. World Wide Corals stepped it up lovely on these. Whats up with your pink panties. They need to be on this thread. Please don't let RC members miss out on that sweet colony.

I have a question ... do the bowerbanki's grow new skeleton or do they have to be placed on a rock and grow over it. Why I am asking is that a friend and I split a colony and we each have a larger piece and 2 frags each and are not sure how we work with them. Place them in the sandbed to grow or place them on a flat rock first and let them grow.

I'll try and get a photo posted of the original colony soon!

 

[ct_vol]

FWIW I have my colony in the sandbed, I have my frags in the rockwork... lol I feed the frags more often than the colony, so thats why they're in the rockwork so that I can reach them...
