How did you choose your profile pic?

[Anna K]

One of the things I love most about R2R is how everyone gets to choose their own profile picture.

After a while, as you browse the forums, you start recognizing people more by their profile pic than their username.. until they change it and suddenly you're doing a double take (looking at you, Mr. Crabs!).

I really enjoy seeing the variety - whether it's a stunning fish, a coral you're proud of, a favorite character, or just something that makes you smile. Maybe your pic is of your first successful coral, your dream fish, or there's a funny story behind it.

So let’s hear it, what made you choose your profile picture?

Crab = Crab

I just wanted something recognizable. I actually used the screen name Reefer Matt on R2R before I had a yt channel. Then after the channel was going for a while, I started to use the yt logo here to let others know I am the same person. But honestly it doesn’t matter much either way, and I have changed it up a few times.

I can see how that would be helpful. It'd be crazy if someone tried to say you were the same person!

Picture of me and my wife in the Smokey Mountains. Nice simple, plus I like the photo, haha

I've started seeing a lot more of them in some build threads I've lurked and they are growing on me! Do yours have names?

Prompted a brindle greyhound (my late Good Boy) scientist wearing glasses and a lab coat looking at an aquarium. Best of many attempts, most of which couldn't manage glasses on a greyhound's face!

Chain of Craters VNP Hawaii. I longed to see it and be there, and I made it happen. It was just as stunning as I imagined it would be, and that's a rarity.

Mine is just my character in final fantasy xiv and the fact that I like it being weird. I try to be helpful but snark always sneaks in :-p

Lions are my favorite fish.

Now I am curious to know where your signature came from. I have been wondering that for weeks now.

Currently, mine is Heisenberg based off Walter White. I’m bald and have grown a goatee to be Walter White for Halloween in the past

Breaking Bad is one of my favorite shows and it’s how I envisioned @Randy Holmes-Farley until recently
