This is true. I don't have time to shop it lol. Not that it's a bad thing but the reality is that unless you have a DSLr with great skills it will not look the same.

You bought the coral coz u like it right? color and everything about this piece. I don't know maybe it's just me but the color is way off than the original. If u like it that's all it matters. Cheers!
 
Taken under 10k Ushio halide with no actinic supplementation. I have had it over a year. When I got it, it was brown/green from shipping. I admit I wasn't happy it shipped from Florida with no heat packs, or insulation.

It then turned green for about a year while it grew out, and now its is more of a white/yellow with red polyps. Pics look orange/brownish because I only have a camera phone.

Then it went missing for about a month and I found it while siphoning the sandbed (almost sucked it right out without noticing).

Here's a recent actinic shot (I need to get a full spectrum shot) as of April 26, 2015 (excuse the bubble algae):

Long ways to go...but seems to be edging along.

Looks good! Might we ask what lighting its under?
 
Thanks! I run LEDs: 4 hydra26s and 2 hydra52s. This piece is under one of the 52s.
 
I received my Pikachu frag today. Everyone curious if it's yellow or green. It's definitely yellow. Healthiest frag I've ever received from shipping. Photo is under ATI Blue +. This was my first order from TCK but I'll definitely order again.

ive got a frag that im holding for a buddy and im wondering what light intensity and flow you guys have experimented with this acro and what seems to make it happiest...

Im sure the answer is buried in this thread somewhere but im to lazy to search for it honestly:)

Heres a pic of this bad boy, wish i had post processing software so i could raise the exposure.

Wow that's a big gamble that people took on this coral. I guess time will tell. I still can't justify paying that much for just one piece. I don't care what color it is. Hope it colors up for those buyers.
 
Mine looked good. But for some reason it uped and bleached over night.. Weird.. But it came to me with good color. Has it for a couple of months
