a walt disney or not?

[Rando]

somehow I doubt that I once again for a lot of money a walt disney bought ..

 

[Arricefe]

Rando, I think something got lost in translation. Are you asking a question or are you expressing a thought?

 

[Salty Lemon]

Good morning (at least it is in the United States :) ). Are you saying you thought you bought a Walt Disney, but now you are having your doubts as to whether or not it really is one?

Looks like a WD to me.... just needs to cook a little and get some yellow and orange.....

either way, beautiful coral

 

[CivicS14]

could be... can you take a pic with some more whites on and clearer?

Looks right to me! Looking great.

It was sold to me as a small piece for $ 200 as a Walt Disney by a reputable dealer. In the meantime she is taller but she does not color herself around. Since this Tenuis is quite common among you in the States and you can judge that better, I'll ask.

this should also be a Walt Disney. I got it yesterday

I'll let someone who's better at identifying these verify if it's WD. That said, you can definitely find color variations in corals from reef to reef.

doesn’t look like it, in either pic. I have two WD from different sources, so for comparison...
Here’s what my first frag has progressed to:

and here’s a recent pic of a fresh frag of a Big R WD:

None of them in this pic look like a WD to me. Sorry.

 

[Rando]

Oha, my dealer has just assured me that it is real Walt Disney Tenuis and the polyp staining is very difficult. strange only my other sps look great, are partly multicolored.

I'll try to get a better picture. but today is bad. Here it is almost evening and my radion lamps are dimming right now.

What lighting do you use if I may ask? it looks really awesome! :-)

I still have a picture .. is photographed from above with the iPhone.

This is a picture of a Walt Disney from the dealer where I bought it.

That's not WD, and in fact, might look great in it's own right when grown out. I'd keep close watch on this piece, might be special.

I use Reefbreeders Photon V2+

doesn't appear to be WD

 

[Rando]

Yes, I have no choice but to wait and see what comes out of it. In any case, I should speak a serious word with my dealer. Finally, I paid 400 € for both parts!

Be sure to post back in a couple months to let us know what it's growing into. Seems like it could be pretty cool, even if it's not what you're expecting it to grow into.

 

[Will Wohlers]

It's definitely a rainbow tenius. I wouldn't sweat it. It's gonna end up special in its own right. I bet it'll look every bit as good or better then wd when it gets some size and grows into it's colors.

Indeed it does! I'm curious as well @SeaDweller !

I got myself a WD frag, and it's started growing some, but it it looks more like @SeaDweller 's first frag. (actually looks worse because I run ATI Coral plus T5s and only run a not-so-great LED at night, but whatever)

Is it common for a WD frag to start out kind of bland, and then slowly grow out into something special, like @SeaDweller 's pictures?
