(for an article) Could I see some photos of some soft corals please

[Seawitch]

I need some photos of soft corals to accompany an article. Can I see some of yours? If you post a photo, tell me what it is and how long you've had it and how many gallons your tank is.

THANK YOU

Here is a toadstool leather I have had for a few years. It has been in 5 tanks so far, and currently resides in a DIY 20 long AIO. I am digging right now to find some pics (at work, so having to remote into the home PC) of a paly colony that has been with me from the beginning and started out as 1 polyp, now over 100 and has been broken up every month for the past 2 years lol. If you want I can load you up from Kenya Tree colonies I have had to GSP and on down the list. My wife is a softie fanatic, so all the tanks have loads of them.

Fantastic, @Eagle_Steve. What kind of fish is resting on your toadstool? Sure post as many photos as you like.

(Gobiodon atrangulatus) Green Clown Goby a.k.a "Earl". Cool little guy that eats out of your fingers.

Cabbage Coral - Sinularia brassica I've only had this piece about 2 years but it's grown like crazy.

Gorgonian - not 100% sure on exact species. I've had this guy approximately 5 years.

Neon Toadstool - Sarcophyton sp. I've had this one 4-5 years and as you can see naked clown uses it like an anemone. When the polyps get really long it almost looks like a gigantea

Kenya Tree - Capnella sp Known as a pest to many it's got a beautiful blue base that frequently self propagates - not the stubs which are branches that released from the mother colony. I've had this for many years too.

various discosoma mushrooms - again years, mostly got as cheap single polyps nothing crazy but certainly pretty. Various palys also around them.

This big green leather I've never been able to determine if it's Sinularia or Nepthea. I got it as a frag maybe 6 or 7 years ago and it's my largest coral these days. Fragged occasionally. Various other softies also viewable in the picture.

How’d you take such good pictures? What camera did you use?

It’s just an IPhone 8 for the pics. I use an app called Snapseed to adjust the blue level so that the picture looks the same as your eye would see it.

32gal, think its a ric, but not really sure.

Why can't you just take pics with white light on? Just curious, I see a lot of people take pics with blue lights on. I'm curious because I don't have any corals or a proper reef light yet. Just FOWLR for now.

Corals don't fluoresce under white light so you just see the muted greyish green or brown colors.
