Anyone have any grown out reef raft sps? Does it look like it does on thier site?

[Touring]

just wondering if its more of a dosing thing.

 

[hatfielj]

Its more of a photoshop thing

Dosing thing?

While I do know that some of these colors are attainable, many of these pieces are enhanced to the point where they are not reality. I do like the hype and the excitement that RR pieces bring to the hobby.

No one has a Jaw dropper that looks like this pic. If you do prove me wrong.

I wish these colors were attainable, just keep adding blue, it'll get there eventually....I wonder if this could be construed as a bait and switch

The jaw dropper could have looked exactly like that picture at one point. Probably the day they received it and smashed it into tiny frags to sell it asap before the color shifted in captivity.

I've got the Redbull and its nothing like the pic online, granted if you check properties of the picture found online it says saturation level high-I'm not sure if that means its very wet, ie saturated or the colors are jacked up to make it look so bad. The majority of sponsors jack the photos up, not all just the majority

Very true! RR Canada they PS it a little too much and you will never pull off that colors. I got a few corals from RR USA and it pretty spot on the money.

I don't know about you but if I received a wild coral with colors like this I would have taken 5 million photos and posted them all over, not just one carefully enhanced photo.

I agree with Pete. Thats probably right when it came in, who knows if it can reach that potential again. Its just like Orange Passion everyone's minus kiethcorals who has an actual sweet colony looks bla. Could have to be colony size to reach that potential. But I do agree that all the photoshop is weak and everything should be shot in RAW.

 

[mr_bigl]

I agree that some pics are over the top by some sellers. But living in so cal I have the opportunity to see the corals first hand before I purchase. I have several RR signatures that look like the pictures they posted. I'll do my best to post one not taken by my cell.

Oblivion RRUSA pic is close, I run a lot of blue and cell phone pic is a bit washed out.

It's probably because that was the only 2 pieces of the colony that had color like that. They knew what they were doing and made a ton of money.

I'll just stick to $20 frags and never be disappointed lol

Me too!

Still see people raving about RR and never saw a colony that looked like the pic

 

[skinz78]

I don't own any RR SPS but I do own LPS and Z's N P's from them and their pic's have been spot on with the corals that I have.

 

[show time]

This is a RR USA not RR Canada. This picture was taken 6 month ago in my tank. it got a lot bigger and brighter you will be shock if you saw it today.

Is that oblivion, show time?
