Yeah, but yours don't count - fairy dust and paint thinner and all that stuff you add to your tank.

There are many slight differences between the 2. Doesn't matter unless you like the finer detail.

Forest fire will have green skin, blueish skin on new growth. Orange/red polyps

Bubblegum = green/yellow skin new growth, pink/red polyps, blue/purple skin where There's no growth.

And for those who really love fine detail. Macro lens + mirrorless digital camera and pick an acropora to focus in on. It gets crazy....

Tl:dr

Good morning.
I want a mirrorless camera- someone should buy me one

Appreciate you pointing out the subtle differences as they do make a difference on this type of coral. I am hoping for more pinkish than red. Will be interesting to see difference is any between WWC and TSA. There is another large LFS that TSA said i should check out - Living Reef. If I can squeeze it in I’ll def go.

This is a once in a lifetime trip for me to see this lvl and caliber of LFS and the mature corals and fish.

Bubblegum for sure. The polyps are more of a pinkish red, and like she mentioned, the flesh is a purplish blue

Couple of years or so...it grows fast. That's been cut a bunch of times at that point
Ohh. Good to know. Might have to learn how to cut corals and hope my LFS likes a lot of digi frags - lol.

digis, you can just pull a branch off of. They really don't care.
Funny you say that, I literally just watched this - Josh was hilarious and Ryan had a hard time keeping it a learning video. The Cafe will rif on his getting kicked in the kidneys example!
