Not a lot of blue in my tank ...





Only one blue frag on the rack, but I can't get a good photo of the mother colony "¦ it just washes out due to lighting. The frag is an accurate representation of its color though. Any ideas what it is?



 
Thanks Matt. Pics are taken with an iPhone5 through a look down box. Photos were cropped and edited for sharpness. No color edit. Lighting is a 400w radium + t5's. The first one is something that I have not seen in the hobby….yet. It was an australian piece that looked like a regular blue tennis. This just colored up with red polyps recently. If anyone has the first one please LMK. I would love to compare notes :)

LOL thanks. Using the regular photo app. A little trick is to start the app looking at the tank. The white balance sets better this way. I hope as that coral grows the red polyps become even more pronounced. When looking at that piece from the front, you don't really notice the red polyps. It's only visible from the top down view.
 
Very nice, Richard..
Here's another blue acro.. Now that we are doing light blue..
Sorry.. iPhone pic but not as nice as Richards! I cropped it..

Wild Aussie frag..

Perhaps my favorite coral in my tank. Not sure the name but got it as a fairly colorless nub. Really want it to start branching. I mean its probably 4" tall now with a large base.
