Very nice but don't be too disapointed with the colors you get. Those pics look like they went through some intense photoshopping.
 
the first three are coming from donavon (donavonsreef) and the other 8 pieces are coming from phishy business. this is my third order from them and thier rics are usually perfect. the pics of the ones i bought in the last order looked just as good in person. check out thier site they still have alot of pieces, i took alot though but they add more every week.

I agree, but it looks like they used flash. The colors look really intense and nice.
 
Please let us know what these look like when they come in (new photos would be nice).

They look fantastic, but I have to agree that they look enchanced with Photoshop.

I've gotten rics from donovan you won't be disappointed. He uses flash so some of the colors are washed out.

I've also gotten a couple from phishy and I was really happy too!

You'll be happy:)!
 
*******UPDATE******

i just got home from work all the pieces came in. i am so happy right now :rollface: :rollface:

ok, first package was the first 3 pics on this post and those were from donavon.

the blue piece might be the nicest piece i got i swear it looks better in person. i couldn't be happier with that piece. the green and orange ricordea one wich is the third pic came a really bleached so that piece didn't end up being too great. i lost mout on that one. and the second piece the orange ric with the blue/grey center looks exactly like it does in the pic, its great.


ok, second package from phishy business...


the 2 blue pieces i got from them came perfect. the redish/orangy rics look just like in the pics...

then i got the blue zoo's they gave me a huge colony with over 50 polyps im very happy with that and the clove polyps i got still didnt open but they gave me a huge colony so as long as they look somehting like there picture then ill be happy

the 2 orange pieces that looked like they were photoshoped both look good but definately not like the pics and they def were a little photoshoped, they arent as nice. but dont get me wrong they still look good, just not that good.


overall im really happy...!


ill take pics as soon as i can, but remember my digital camera is not too good(i have to look into that, but the rics keep taking my money)
 
I don' t think any of the photos you gave us looked photoshopped.. if anything maybe slightly adjusted as far as color balance goes - perhaps it was a dark picture its easier to hit 2 buttons than go retake the whole picture after you've shut up your camera.

Also don't forget that if your light is different than theirs it may look different- I have that going on just between my PC and T5 lights in 2 different tanks and yes please show us pics when everything is settled in!
 
my camera is not too great, its hard to get any pics to not be blurry....i don't have all the pics i promised yet, but i will.

for now im gonna post some pics of my larger tank. its a 72 gallon bow reef.

these are mostly some of my rics, if you want to see any of my inverts(i have a ton) or any of my other corals let me know.

these are full tank shots
