RR jaw dropper

[Robby2782]

Call me crazy, but that colony pic looks like the "Bleeding Avengers" which is also a very nice piece.

I have the Bleeding Avengers but it isn't colored out near that nice, and that doesn't look like the Jaw Dropper I was expecting to see from the few fragment pictures floating around.

Dude were are the blue pyolps what a waste of time All day for this ??????? Well thanks for sharing but I am not impressed at all. that is a very big colony and it looks nothing like the pictures on the first page. But if you want me to say sorry so be it it sorry. But you answered everyone's question one big photoshop on page one.

The blue polyps are slightly retracted because it was moved from its home to the holding tank at RR on the platform to do the photoshoot....jees you saw the polyps before and still can see them peeking out. Obviously they will extend way more lol

Wow, I am very unimpressed with this coral now. Thank you very much for your time RKlion. I find it amazing how much some people will photoshop there way to the top.

Sorry but like I said Im not the best photographer(still learning). Im having some issues properly representing the coral. Let Hydrologist properly post this tomorrow without screwing up the compression. I dont know how to make it large size if it was you would see a lot more craziness...

One more .....

and finally for the people who like to say the photos are photoshopped I took this last photo beside other corals including bleeding apple scoly and utter chaos palys which we all know the colour of.....

...argument DONE.

Truth be told, I was ready to hop on a plane to buy the frag on page 1 in person, but I wouldn't do so for the sps represented by this picture. Don't get me wrong though, I think it looks very nice and I probably would buy a frag of it if I were local and paid the Canadian price.

I still think it looks pretty sweet. If you could ever get a frag down to me in south Florida I'm in.

The mother colony pictures look good in terms of white balance/saturation. I think its definitely a hawt coral. The original frag picture looks pretty similar to me too.... maybe a touch hot but you gotta be realistic here, its not as bad as I have seen from other places.

I do see some similarities with it and the bleeding avengers too. I dont think that one has the blue polyps. though.

I am totally with you Wayne. Lol, I guess I am off the band wagon.

Ok so now you guys can actually see the details...this is a much better representation..theres the blue polyps. All I can say is this is a crazy coral.

 

[trueblackpercula]

My apologies sorry to have questioned it.

 

[trueblackpercula]

So now that I have apologized what are the requirements for this ? Low light high light temp etc. also what part of the world does it come from and at what depth was it collected. Just want to make sure I can keep it alive in my tank.

We are all friends here(well most of us anyways lol). I just wanted to share with you guys this beauty.

 

[WayneL333]

Ok, I'd hop on a plane again These pics are much better.

I keep mine similar to my understanding of the farmers positioning...high light and high flow, temp around 77 and it is quite hardy.

Thanks,ya I dont know how to use the large photo option here on RC but thats why all of us who have seen it are adamant that it is crazy. Hope this helps.

 

[Allmost]

lol what a funny world,

thats why I stick to my old stags ...

gotta "follow the money" then all comments here start to make sense.

 

[trueblackpercula]

Thanks for the information.

It's amazing that something this nice has never been collected. I am sure every diver is out looking for it as it commends a high price tag and if the pictures are a true representation of it and I am sure it is every reefer on the planet will want one.
Including myself. But I live in New York so chances are I won't get one anytime soon.

Somebody PM me when they get down to $100 a frag, til then ya'll have fun with this ya hear.

Starts to chant..." CHOP IT UP...CHOP IT UP..."

We could get a couple dozen small frags from that piece...
