Hey, i just bought a nice orange frogspawn coral (2heads) for £30, however I have just seen a 4 head one sell online for 300 usd.

did I get a good deal?

Thanks

No you got one hell of a Great deal :dance:

Depends on the vibrancy of the orange. No way to tell if you got a good deal without a pic. I've seen a lot of tan, beige euphyllias labelled as gold, orange.

I will post a pic later. I would not say it is ultra but it was definitely Orange, also had the correct texture and shape to other ones.

Is brown I think, under t5s, will it colour up?

 

[Tweaked]

Tough to say, euphyllia can be found in that color.

I think it was richer in colour in the shop, lit by ecotech radions, could this be a factor?

A pic of my tank a day before I added the coral. Sorry a bit blurry... 30g lit by T5s

the radions bring out some of the best color IMO. Might be just the specimen, only time will tell. Keep water params correct and stable and hope for the best.

Thanks will do!

PB = photobucket, which is where your pictures are.
When you are looking at a picture, there will be links on the right hand side.
Click the word "direct" to grab the direct link.
Then, in your post, don't click the link icon, click the picture icon and paste the direct link into the popup box.
Then your pictures will display like below.

One of the links on PB says direct, use that.

I have that same exact octospawn, unfortunately under bluer LEDs it doesn't really pop that much more but I still like. I think I paid $60 usd for 3 big heads.

Edit: looks like mark was a little better at explaining the whole direct link thingy

Shoot , I've just bought a gold tip hammer and was wondering if it was really gold or just tan, very hard to tell. Your quote is putting doubts in my head. I really wanted a gold tip hammer
