I got this mushroom to trade! Second photo is just for show; the single polyp is the one up for trade. Cant remember what Calikid Corals called it; paid a very shiny penny for it a while ago. Looking for a decent chunk of Space Invader 😬 

😱 [language filter]! That’s gorgeous! 

My little doodle of a bta 🙃

Aw! Thanks! ☺️

Another vid! 😬

Thanks for letting me snap photos in the store, Cuttlefish and Corals! 😉 

First time posting a video! I hope it works! Lol

Son has some sweeeet corals. He has great prices but be warned, the numbers still add up quickly.

 

If you are just starting with SPS then i would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest getting some cheap run of the mill frags first and see how they receed and die first.

 

Being excited about SPS when first starting goes something like this:

 

1. these are awesome!!

2. they look great.. this isnt that hard.

3. huh, that looks weird. does that look weird, i think that is weird

4. no,no,no!! what is happening

5. google, google ,google, panic.

6. $75 desk ornament.

 

 

ask me how i know....

Lol! that was pretty much my experience with sps before! Ive done a ton of research and have been perfecting my water chemistry. I think the tank is stable enough to give it another try. My monti and birdsnests have been growing well with great colors so I'm hoping not to fail miserably.

Thanks guys! I got a few things lined up; so excited!

I’m ready to venture into the world of sps! Looking for a small high end sps frag pack that include brightly colored corals (for photography). Branching much preferred over encrusting

How are you getting these colors in your photos, are you using a filter or is this color balancing in post process?  I am going to break out my old dslr this week (gasp, 6MP) and start playing around.  Still deciding between grabbing an old 80D or waiting for the prosumer step that will come after the M50.  My iPhone X just can't resolve the issues of the LED's for me.

 

If this is done in software, are you using Lightroom or Photoshop?  I need to get a new license for PS if I can't do this in LR (still rocking CS1 from when my wife worked for a major apparel company here in town).

 

Anyway, totally beautiful!

My iPhoneX is useless with any sort of blue light. All the colors are achieved with very minimal post processing; mostly in-camera with custom white balance; I slightly underexpose all the photos to preserve all the details; most of the processing is done with Instagram sliders; color temperature slider will filter out a lot of blue; adjust the brightness and add a little sharpening. That’s it!
