Attention Yuma Shoppers

[AcroNem]

yea would love to see a non extreme corals pic lol

These colonies are dope…oversaturated photos or not. Is it typical for multiple color varieties to colonize so closely in the wild, or is this some human intervention?

Do most yumas reach a giant 5-6 inches, or do most stay the size of floridas and the big yumas are the exception. I have a rock of giant bright orange ones love them. I can’t even imagine how awesome the OP’s shrooms would look like if they all got 4-6 inches!

These are maricultured pieces, so single polyps/frags planted on rock and left to grow out in farms in the ocean.
R. yuma can get quite large, although we rarely see them that big.

Well thank you I’m $300 poorer now

Looked at their website for the first time. I like the pieces and the pricing, but jeesh i feel like i should put on sunglasses when i visit the site. My retinas are still burning.

Let us know how they look

So saturated, you can't see the details on the corals.

Stupid.

Pretty sure most of what they are selling is coming from an Indonesian mariculture farm. Most of the Yuma's I have or have had are a little bigger than FL ricordia. Maybe just the env but I've not seen a giant one although I understand they exist. The mariculture farms could absolutely snuff the chop shops (or "aquaculture") and people could get colony sized stuff like it used to be before the scourge of frags. I saw some Yuma on AquaSD that obviously came from a farm, but they chopped them up and are trying to get 100-150 a piece (not even that spectacular). Then again ASD is also selling some uncut acro's from Indo like Extreme. They aren't the only ones. oooohhh doorbell must be new my Haitian FL ricordias from reef gardener

Definitely! I know I’m going to be doing *alot* of dipping/scrubbing with all that rock. I agree the photo looks really saturated but I’m excited about just the variety of colors in many of them, even if they aren’t as vibrant. Plus I run pretty intense blues at the end of the light cycle so I should get to see some fun colors anyways. And at ~$25/yuma I had to give it a go. I’ll post when they come in!

Ok just got filters and still experimenting but this one is pretty good with just a 20k filter. This is under G5's midday 45% LPS template. That one on bottom right is actually very purple but trade off with lights and filters. This was Galaxy 23+ camera. Thats some green yumas to the right and of course a bicolor angel and conch.

 

[prodbot7]

They are still mad and a bit scrunched up from dips but here are some pics taken under blues and using an orange lense, taken on iPhone 13, photos are unaltered. The sales photo was clearly over saturated but, as I knew that on the front end, I’m *extremely* happy with the color on these.

Beautiful, I wish venders would post pics like this. Then I would not close out of their website so fast!

I like the tealish green one the best.

I love that one! And I definitely agree, I get wanting to show off all the colors but at some point it’s out of control.

Yes, that one is very nice with my 3 favorites that one, the bottom center orange and orange rainbow bottom right. Got a pair (and a baby I didn't notice until now) of small "golden core" with a load of stuff from ASD for $38 ($50-15%) on sale. Colors a bit exaggerated but these were an awesome find. 200g is getting a bit ricordia dominated lol.

Those looked nice enough without oversaturating. Hopefully the feedback here taken into consideration by the vendor.

That’s a great deal. I count myself lucky anytime I get an interesting shroom under $40.

Who knows, seems like most places do it… kind of like steroids in baseball, if you don’t take them, are you even trying?

There are degrees of enhancement though. You can go overboard. When the colors are so over saturated that you are losing focus/fidelity in the photo, that is too much and it becomes more of a red flag than a selling point. It also opens up the vendor to unhappy customers who want to recreate that color in their own tanks and cannot.

Yes, lol it was a joke.

Looking good! Here is the original photo from the website. We are working on some photo compression issues on the website, photos are being compressed and making them blurry. Hopefully wwe can figure this out this morning. Besides being blurry I dont think there is a major difference in color of the photo you took and what was posted

 

[Bucs20fan]

Im with @Tamberav , the photos taken from buyers look great on their own, but anytime I see color saturation like that on a site im out.
