My TSA Black Widow Blastos, I mounted then on a 3in disk at the exact same time as the WWC Rainbow blastos. Again, not happy as I took theses photos a hour or so after adding them to the disk and placing them back into my tank.

I know how this goes. I have been fighting trying to not get grainy pics. Easy under white light, not actinics.Any photo that I post is actually an insult to the actual item in question as I stink at photography and I am trying to learn.
This is why I will always say, if possible, to see the coral as a colony and not a frag on a site. I have been to WWC, TSA, and a few other frag farms. I look at their main display tanks vs their frags and photos. I want to see what it actually looks like under normal circumstances...AKA...normal reefers situation. Their are a few SPS vendors that I will say are just, AND, will send you a frag that will look like what they posted.I know how this goes. I have been fighting trying to not get grainy pics.

I don't like being lied too, I don't like to lie. And lenses on a camera are a lie. I love the fine details of corals and anemones. If there are photos lacking detail, I won't buy from that vendor. Saturation destroys gradient detail.
I missed out on New York’s reefapoloozaI bought it at Reefapolooza Orlando 2021, and I counted it roughly 2 months ago before I battled Dinos.

I truly hate photo foolery. The corals speak for themselves when they are naturally shown. I almost never buy a frag that I have never seen in person for that reason. I will only buy from a few vendors that will be sight unseen.

This is just a total guess on my part but my old brain tells me that the more unstable an aquarium is the more good and bad days the coral will have. I have nothing to back this up with but it seems to make sense?Morning all.
Duncan still a little shrunken, but not as bad.
Torch is still retracted, no clue why.

Before, just after whites came on. This has happened before, right when I got a huge explosion of new heads, so I’m hoping that’s all it is.did this happen before or after feeding?

This hobby is weird haha corals will do everything to make you worry it’s like having a kid . Have you thought about upping your CUC for the algae?Morning all.
