The actinic pictures are always fun to look at but you have given me a new appreciation for what these corals can look like under daylights. Greatly appreciate the integrity you show with your pictures and its a big reason why I will be placing many future orders once my new build is ready!I’m trying to work on taking actinic pictures since I so rarely do so. Here’s my first attempt. I’ll keep working on it. It’s not so much capturing a nice image but making sure color is correct as well. A lot can go crazy when you’re working with all blue and sometimes you can fool yourself as a photographer into thinking that overly colored up pic you took is accurate.
I see way to many actinic shots where colors completely shift. Green becomes red and purple becomes orange, it's bizarre. I don't mind the saturation increase with blue pics, but when colors starting changing completely it's gone too far.I’m trying to work on taking actinic pictures since I so rarely do so.

Fully agreed. They made up colors that don’t exist with orange filters. If I see a yellow acro in a blue picture... I’m like...
Too kind sir! You know where I’m at when you’re ready!

Thanks! When I first got a piece a couple years ago, it was pretty crazy blue. I’m not judging this one yet until it’s had some time in my system. It was under MHs and came in about 80% green, believe it or not... Only the tips were blue... but it was super healthy. Give it a couple months in my system and I’ll judge then.

Looks like my rr marvin the martianThis piece is hypnotizing in person. It is a Malaysian acro... almost looks like a raspberry flavored shortcake.
ORA Bellina is a rare ORA piece that they actually don’t even have anymore. They lost it some years back. It’s super sensitive but when happy, the contrast of purple and green can’t be beat. To those wondering if it’s a purple bonsai, no, the growth form is very different. More delicate bushy appearance then the more solid and branching look of the purple bonsai.
Thanks bud!
I wanted to get more adept at blue shots because there is also a large portion of the reefing community that prefers their tank under blues. While that isn’t my preference, I figured letting people see what the same acros look like under blues as well would be helpful for them too. I’m talking color correct blues... not the type where greens magically all become yellow and saturation falls off the slider.
It’s pretty close. The way it tables actually reminds me of my FarmerTy Blue CottonCandy. The purple matches up well and the tabling form.Looks like my rr marvin the martian
I’ve just created more work for myself!Don't get me wrong. Those blue shots are SEXY as well! Be careful though because you are going to have to start doing double the work to make us all happy now!

To be entitled Real (daylight) and Fake (actinic)!;Hilarious
All these blue light pics
Ty knows I’m kidding.
Yes! We expect side by side daylight and actinic shots NOW!
You've only got yourself to blame!
