Bubba's SPS Journey

MattV Psycho asylum is my favorite coral. It's hard to show how much it glows in the pics.

Under blues but corrected to what it would look like to your eyes and not those orange filters.

Yeah people complain about "photo shopping" corals, when it's the orange filters really getting out of control. It's easy to spot, but still, unless you watch your tank with orange glasses all day the corals never look like that.

That piece is very nice Bubba! I need me some matt v acros, but dang they are $$$

Yeah I won’t buy coral from those types of pics as I don’t sit around with orange glasses on.

I don’t know who MattV gets his coral from but the ones I have of his are some of the nicest coral I’ve seen. When I had that issue with my tank last month I lost about 80% of my MattV rainbow envy. It was a sad day to walk out and see the skin just falling off. The other coral I lost was an Aussie echinata. I am happy to say my tank has fully recovered and things look pretty great again.
 
I have had this BC Fleshdunce for quit some time now. It sat dormant for what seemed like forever but all of a sudden about a month ago it started growing at a really rapid rate for some reason. Unfortunately the direction it decided to grow was right into another coral. Anyone need a Fleshdunce frag, lol.

Well, it seems @Wrangy is not really interested, so if there is some frag left, I would like to present myself as available at the frag receiver end.
 
Couple new frags I got recently.

CC Poison Ivy. I think this one is going to be an absolute stunner.

This one kind of seems like an orange passion but it's much brighter.

Your collection, and photography skills are amazing. Well done [emoji122]. I’ve got a small piece that looks identical to the CC Poison Ivy, but I bought mine as a $10 brown booger from my LFS [emoji4]
 
Love that poison ivy ! !

Thank you! That is awesome if got something that looks like it!
That poison ivy looks like needle in the haystack. Is CC doing the bubba/ trendy switcharoo?
No way does it look like the needle in the haystack!! Google both colonies and they look really different.
 
I have noticed my new camera makes things little more purple than my old camera, even though I shoot in raw. I reached out to Dennis (D2mini) as I believe he takes some of the best pics and is very knowledgeable about cameras and lightroom. He said different cameras write raw files differently and it could be why my pics look a little more purple. Either way I wanted to share one of my favorite corals again. The growth has been really great lately!
