Thank you
this is awesome... all of it
keep em coming!
got some more to share
The colours you are pulling on all your corals are amazing.
Get we get a recent FTS ?
Once I finish sharing the top down, I will start taking the front shots
Just incredible. Wow. How long have you had most of these colonies?
The oldest are about18 to 20 months old, my tank had a complete crash, total wipe-out(everything croaked) in 2011. I let the tank sit fallow for a few months and started adding livestock again near the end of that summer, 2011
Awesome SPS collection. One of the best here. SUBSCRIBED! keep the pics coming!! :thumbsup:
It is really fun sharing photos and I have more to go from the top down.
Not yet famous prostrata (I did not name it, this is what the LFS labeled it)) Again this picture came out with a little too much blue even though I color corrected to 20k. the pink smoothie edge at the bottom has the correct color and the rock seems to look correct. Anyway, this started out multi-colored and has been changing. You can still see the green growing rim. so it still has green, red, blue but it had more as a tiny frag. It is starting to take off so it will be interesting to see how it progresses and changes.
This is Nick's pink dahlia. The top down is stunning and more flattering than the front view. Bought this from fellow reefer, Nick. His colony croaked so I had the pleasure of returning the favor and sent a frag back to its home tank. In the second pic, you can see a bunch of reef epoxy (the pinkish clay stuff) around the pink dahlia because I had an overstimulated tyree true undata think the tank was its to overtake. Also notice some sting between the pink dahlia and its neighbor. Some acros just can't play nice.
Nick's bubble gum millie Here is the frustration of trying to capture true colors in reef photography. Two pics taken at the same time, adjusted I believe equally to 20 k but neither one is quite correct. The truth is the correct coloring lies between these two pictures. My photo skills are a work in progress, sorry. Anyway, the coral is shaded on its right half by the red convex and you can see the difference in color and polyp extension. I am building up the courage to cut a major branch of the covexa and give this coral a little bit more light.
Mystic sunset monti Bright red and blue and another really aggressive monti. It has virtually no stinging capability but that's not how it fights. It encroaches on acros, gets stung, dies back and encrusts over its dead skeleton to start this march over and over again until it can scale over the acro. Persistent guys, they are the tortoise (in the tortoise and hare race)
