That RR Lady in Pink is really something! Very nice stuff going on there.

Thanks bud! For an older named piece... I was nicely surprised as it grew and colored up.

Looking good as usual.

Real slow grower isn’t it? Still one I need for my collection

It’s probably slower than average, but I’m not upset with the progress at all. The TSA Dragonfruit I picked up from Ty a few weeks ago is growing like Xenia!

Sat in my system for 2 years doing nothing, then exploded in growth and became one of my faster growers. It’s an odd story.

That Dragonfruit is a good grower. Colors are insane as a frag and colony too. One of my favorites in the tank lately. If not happy, it’s just a maroon turd so good indicator coral too

One of my favorites. It actually surprised me with how tight of a formation it grows.

Did the coral change colors or just better a photograph?

Also, let's play a game. Name that tenuis!

Two reasons… 1) pics are about roughly a month apart… even though I posted within a week… colors have been blowing up since I swapped the sump and increased my nitrates back to around 15-20ppm instead of 2.5ppm 2) I redid my white balance. I noticed it was squashing my blues and pinks a bit. I like this current custom white balance a lot more. Much more accurate to what I see and I can stop asking everyone to imagine bluer tips on acros. Haha

Ahhh never fails man. I am constantly taking pictures trying to capture my shrooms exactly how they look on my reef. Its super tricky and try to play with white balance to get it and don't think I've ever had 2 pix exactly the same.

I appreciate it! Mine should be pretty consistent normally as I take it under the same custom white balance and light settings every time. The post processing would be my only hitch for variation in consistency. My editing setup is upstairs away from my tank so I can’t do the side my side comparison that is convenient.
