Colony Pictures

[shadow1013]

Hey guys! I've seen you post some colony pictures when you are doing the live sales. Do you think you could post them here so everyone can see what each of your frags could grow out looking like! You guys have so many named frags it would be cool to have them all in one location.

Agreed! I have a nice big order coming from the live sale, and I'm very happy with my selections, but I too would love to see some more colony pics. But it's hard to gauge the way some of these will turn out when they grow out, like the banana boom chalice just to throw out an example. I have no doubt that it is a stunner, as are the frags, but it would be awesome to see some grow out shots so I have some kind of idea as to what to expect down the line after spending that kind of money on a piece.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting the quality or beauty of your corals, nor am I suggesting that the pricing is less than fair in any way.... otherwise I would not have stuck it out for 18 straight hours and completely drained my checking account Saturday night/Sunday morning :D

This is from my previous visit. I have no doubt everything here is like 4-5x the size of what they were in the pictures.

Wow! Great pics. You seem to capture the true colors or corals better than anyone. Thanks for posting.

Wow, ask and you shall receive! Thanks for posting all of these pictures, very nice looking colonies indeed. I hate to ask after you came through with the entire photo album already, but do you happen to have any names to attach with any of the pics?? :)

I'm hoping that next time I go I can spend a little more time in the back. Last time it was getting late and I was in a rush.

I just take pictures of the "cute" stuff and don't really write down the names on them (or I would be at the farm for like 12 hours at a time) I'm sure WWC will be more than glad to answer your questions though.

Lol just the cute ones.... can't argue with your reasoning. Sometimes I realize I've been staring at my 65 without moving for a completely unreasonable amount of time. I can't even fathom how much time I could spend at a place like WWC.

I hear you, it's been on my mind. I just need to make sure I hire my own personal bouncer with strict orders to force me to get on the return flight lol

Hey Clayalaleona, I heard the dates next year for Orlando RAP is May 6th and 7th. and it will be held again at the Caribe Royale Resort. Very nice Resort. I also heard it might be there for the next 10 years.

When I go my friend(who doesn't know or care about corals/ fish etc) is there to make sure I stick to budget and do other things besides stay inside the show all day LOL
