My New Favorite Favites

[Tanked_Life]

Hello R2R! Now Introducing the new Love The Reef Hellbender favites! I just got this favorites from Archit and I am in love with the colors on this bad boy. It has THE MOST intense orange color I have ever seen striked through with blood red veins. I mean you can even see the colors on the crappy picture that I took using my iPhone! This goes down as my all time favorite and I want to thank Archit from Love The Reef for getting this and giving me the first frag. This coral is worth buying ten times over.

I don't see any color and I definitely don't see any orange...

Interesting because the picture clearly shows the color to the best of an iPhones capabilities. There also was a more polite way of stating your comment. I would love to get a camera capable of microphotography though!

I'm sorry if I offended you, but it's just very hard to see any color when the picture is SUPER blue and unfortunately a lot of people do this...it's like corals have two faces. If you posted a picture of it with more white light I'm sure it would be great.

I would look in to any digital camera that has the capability of a custom white balance to either exaggerate a color or show a true color without any blue light what so ever. I'm currently using a Fujifilm FX550 exr *point and click* which is about $220 online and has a 16x zoom. It takes the most amazing pictures up close, but past six inches in an aquarium and it's absolute garbage IMO.

I need to look in to the photography section for exactly what camera is best...I mainly got this one for birding. Most macro shots I see on here are insane...

For the time being look into photo gels for your cellphone. They work great.

Thank you! The gels work wonders for now. Hopefully I'll buy a quality camera one of these days. But for now they work well.

How are the gels at capturing the color red and yellow?
