!!!BC CHEMICAL BOMB!!!

[Battlecorals]

Finally got this guy in the pic tank today. Grown out from a random frag off a dying Indo colony. I have been patiently waiting on this piece to come around, and the last couple months it's really been looking good.

I wanted to cut a frag or two so badly, but had to resist till I got a couple good shots. Now that I've managed to cross that off the list, I'm sure I'll have a few branches clipped before the day is over.

Little different shot set up though. I hung a small Photon V1 value fixture over the pic tank to supplement the 250 watt radium with a little royal blue. Hoping got get a little more pop, but to not over do it.

You can clearly see the difference in the lower right corner of the wider shot, where my camera was shading the LED. There's a bit more luminescence to the branches receiving the Royal Blues as well. Not to mention the deep blue crevices in the background which I am not crazy about. Kind of throws the pic off if you ask me. In hindsight, I should have shot with, and without the LED's to demonstrate the effect better. I may re-shoot anyway, but here's few good pics of a nice looking new piece. Up on the site today!

Hey Adam .. quick question .. why does this ( at the tips ) happen to some corals ?

 

[Crimsonvice]

I love the creative description on your site! Wonderful colors. Another beautiful release from Battlecorals.

Does this coral need that extra pop from led to shine?

More than likely my hands when I pulled it to get into the pic tank. Alas, another reason why I'm so slow to get colony shots. lol I honestly hate moving them around like that.

Yet another cool piece! I'm itching for another Battlebox. Unfortunately, life keeps getting in the way. Hopefully next month.

A recent chemical weapons attack in Syria where many people lost their lives choking on chlorine gas. A recent chemical weapons attack in England where many people were affected. Poor taste? I mean, do we want "chemical bombs" in our tanks and to think of chemical bomb attacks when we look at this picture of what is otherwise a beautiful coral? I think you can do better Sir.

Its just a name. Not meant to mean anything more than that.

That’s what you call REACHING

It’s also lyrics to a song that is pretty much as anti chemical & biological warfare as you can get for a 90s ska band.

Seriously...just a coral name...there are "atomic" this or "toxic" that names out there too, I don't think any ill will is meant by it at all.

Adam - Always love seeing your new releases! Another beauty!

I don't think you understand what the word reaching means dude. If the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria and our pending response to it wasn't all over every media outlet right now, then it would be reaching. But, we don't live under a rock and are not oblivious, are we?

Ok, I was fully expecting something like this and I do appreciate your comments. I did very much consider what's going on in the world before I plugged this name in today believe me, and would have been surprised even if this wasn't brought up. But, it's a coral named after a cartoon song. Nothing more. That's it. Anything taken or extrapolated beyond that is completely unintentional. I do apologize for any offense I may have instigated with this one. Please understand, I don't take these names seriously, and I really hope that most people share that sentiment.

Let’s leave it there this thread is not about that it’s just the naming of a coral.

 

[BigKid4788]

we are too sensitive.
Adam may need to change his name bcs it sounds similar to "a bomb".

Now that's reaching!
Just a name of a coral. Nothing else.
Nice looking Acro!
