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

Daniel@R2R · Sep 17, 2014

Ok, guys. Let's keep this thread on topic. The OP asked that those who have bought from RR post up pictures of their corals to see how they hold their color. We have already removed a few posts which were outside of this theme. Please do not post accusation/speculation. Remember that we want this conversation to stay civil, and bashing of anyone (members or vendors) will not be tolerated. Thanks!

Reef raft oblivion direct from Tony - it still has some coloring up to do after a system move due to emergency. So it's in a fairly new system still (7 months old)

Nice!!! shouldnt have any problems with that. im kind of thinking i should have with the 8 bulb t5 also but the MH/t5 combo i got is doing its job. Keep us posted !!!

Hopefully not any lol!!! no one wants to buy fake or a "look alike" coral. Unless they are okay with it.

All the pieces so far(while not many lol) Look good.

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

the 20$ acros are always the best. nice and brown!
but after a couple of months is nice and colorful.

This is Orangesicle

This was my JD a few months ago this was edited to look like it did at the time the pic was taken

Same Frag unedited taken with a cell phone today!!
My bulbs where are at the 9mo mark and got changed out last week not to mention I do very little over the hot months as work is in full effect I din't take good care of things LOL.
I will get the color back here in the next few months and should have a real good idea of what this PC really looks like as you can see their is no lack of Blue polyps and the reds and oranges are coming back with some hints of greens you can see one lil spot of that.

The Browned out piece below is actually VIVID Rainbow. The color is coming back in that one too you can see a slight change don't mean noting in this thread but I'm sure the Origin of the JD will be questioned color and such and I will say it again Came to me straight From Canada about a year ago way before it was as big on this site or any other.

Tony at RR USA is aware I have this and can vouch for it's origin.

Pic is unedited below right out of a cell

Absolutely none only because how on earth do you prove lineage? I have bought high end sps and in the long run it always comes down to trust. Now I don't understand what you mean about when you say all these conclusions, what does that exactly mean?

That do you mean can't prove lineage? If you buy it directly, buy it from people that have receipt and can get it verify from where they get it from. you should be good.

Great what's in the box touring? It will be a great day for you I bet

Diesel · Sep 19, 2014

We all love to see pics and of course how the progress in your one month old 20 gallon.

Btw, they do make special blends but I make my own so I control for what I put in my tank and it should be illegal as my corals looking better than ever.

Diesel · Sep 19, 2014

Against all odds, just show some pics as this thread is meant for and not a bunch of who's better cause as 40+ years in this hobby I care less.
