ezeke1 November 15, 2015 Share November 15, 2015 Nice! Do you see those bright reds in person in your tank? Time will tell if there is as much red in the photo but there is red at the base. New growth tips are pink with yellow corallites. I have the coral placed near bottom of tank with medium flow so possibly less light brings out more red.

Reefer_Madness November 16, 2015 Author Share November 16, 2015 Some of us invested (wasted) our money in corals rather than fancy macro cameras with filters. Almost all of mine are frags or pre-mini colonies, so pics look like blue sticks stuck to plugs. What they will become is what I am working towards.

gmerek2 November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 So the question is, do these frags have amazing colors in our tanks like in the stock photos? I am definitely staying away from Jason fox corals based on just one observation. I saw that his red dragon looks crazzzzzy red. In real life I see pink red dragons everywhere I go. Maybe he is just more talented and can squeeze out better color than us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunWyrm November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 I'm guessing he just adjusts the photo with higher contrast/saturation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer_Madness November 17, 2015 Author Share November 17, 2015 Absolutely. Most of the corals only look good with photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 I crashed and burned on WWC blue stag. I paid close to $40 for the frag just for it to show up with no blue on it. It actually looks just like my purple stag I have trouble selling for $7 My friend just got back from the actual WWC store in Florida. He looked at a whole row of the blue stag and told me there wasn't anything blue about them. I don't want to bash WWC or JF because it seems as if all the top internet coral shops are misleading their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunWyrm November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 (edited) JF Flame Stock photo Here's mine about a month ago. FTFY Edited November 17, 2015 by SunWyrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezeke1 November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 FTFY Haha nice work! To be honest the Fox Flame is probably the nicest coral from JF. Although not as red as the stock photo, there is red and it's a truly unique coral as far as SPS goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunWyrm November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 I figured. Didn't mean to insinuate his is 'shopped out of proportion, just poking fun. Also, your photo looks a bit cooler than his. Even just slightly adjusting the temperature it looked closer, but I went overboard with the lipstick/blush tools on picmonkey for the above effect.

pizzaguy November 17, 2015 Share November 17, 2015 I see far to much photo shopping nowadays. I really try hard to only buy coral in person. Have been burnt a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer_Madness November 18, 2015 Author Share November 18, 2015 Burnt by the Flame? I'm pretty disappointed by my RR Orange Passion. Should look like this. If I show you the pic of the true colors, I will lose all WAMAS respect.... Haha. It only looks a little cool under actinic. Otherwise it looks brown and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surf&turf November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Keep your chin up, my op is looking like that, just not quite so much green yet. The happier it gets the oranger the polyps get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowieReefer84 November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I "had" these corals a while back. They are frags, but they came from battle corals. They were healthy/colorful, I just am not good with acros. 20131125_203053-1 by mteske1, on Flickr 20131125_203059-1 by mteske1, on Flickr 20131105_152152 by mteske1, on Flickr 20131105_152122 by mteske1, on Flickr My new moto is a nice mushroom tank is better than a bad sps tank.
