Picture of the BigR Freak Nasty Monti under royal blue at my tank can be check out in person

So without photoshop it is that bright

I love mine no photochop needed!👍🏻 Very hardy peice i almost lost it a few months ago cause i had moved it up a bit and didnt take well to more light. Bounced back in a week! (Shitty i phone pic) much more vibrant orange than the pic shows the green polys are crazy

I gave up on clams awhile ago. They are great until there not then theres no hope its a done deal. No frags no fun lol

bottom line, cuttlefish fish has better prices AND you can see the corals first hand AND your frag doesnt sit in a cold black box for an entire day.

online prices are a joke. yeah. if you lived in north Dakota you don't have much choice but we live in portland so....

The blatant photoshop is disgusting. Especially in that Jason fox photo. I would be pissed if that's what showed up at my house compared to what was shown in the photo. Its basically theft in my eyes. That's why I try to support my lfs when I buy stuff. That or other members lol. I like to be able to see the piece in person.

Regardless how the picture look, wanting to provide review need actual coral to compare otherwise you are comparing

apple to orange then the argument will be mute. If you never bought the corals in question then you don't have a right to say good or bad just my 2 cents.

I actually have seen BigR monti in person at show and it is look like that under deeper royal blue ligthing or under kessil 360WE

 

 

Once again this wasnt posted to say the specific monti isnt badass. I actually have it and my point was why do some hack job over saturated edit on a picture of a peice that is beautiful under blues and whites. Personally i dont understand the “12k picture police” saying that corals are misrepresented shot under a blue dominant spectrum that is imo rediculous. Didnt intend this to turn into a r2r Walt disney type debate thead. 😏🤦🏻‍♂️ And i agree i wouldnt recomend keeping corals under a white flash light either.....

I agree.  Seeing a coral in person at your LFS, even if under excessive blue light, still gives you an idea of what a coral can look like in your tank under similar lighting.  The photos posted online can be overly saturated with photo editing software, and usually cannot look the same regardless of your lighting.

Yes i agree i perfer blues over whites thats not what my point was its the excessive photo-chopping.... btw @Jorge i have never bought online

I think Brad had a thread about perhaps doing an SPS grow out a while back - before the meeting this summer at Cuttlefish. We had a somewhat prolonged discussion about how best to judge growth since it isn’t as simple as counting polyps like the zoanthid contest and just measuring frag height doesn’t really capture all the different possible growth patterns. We tossed atound ideas on measuring total volume using displacement since it could be done “at home” vs some sort of official weigh in using a high sensitivity scale. Of course that doesn’t take coloration into account but that is pretty subjective by nature  

Anrway... might make for a good read if someone is thinking about how to put one together.

Deffinatly could do a weigh in combined with coloration you cant miss a crazy color popping at your eyes...lol maybe polyp extension to depending on the type of acro...cough cough.....rainbow tenuis!;). Also to photograph each peice should have a specific like temp like 18 or 20k and habe everyone use there mobile phone camera with like the snapseed app with a specific setting. Just a few thoughts

Make a poll on what kind of tenuis everyone wants? 😉🙃

I just look for distorted color its not the first time ive seen it just the fact that a pretty known and reputable seller is doing is what suprizes me.

Lookin good!
