OUTSIDE the BATTLEBOX

[Battlecorals Verified Sponsor]

I figured i needed a somewhat catchy title that did not immediately imply an acro pack to lure any lps heads into one of my threads. You can be more than certain that i was not going to throw up some variant of the ubiquitous "hammer time" but I had to try my best to rope some of you in for this one.

Most of the time in rare visits to my supplier i don't even go near the lps. I don't have room for them and they just don't enthrall me like acros do. I am just not really drawn to them. I have sort of pigeonholed myself as an sps guy fine. So be it. Well the last time i was down there I couldn't help but notice the glowing dare I say (clears throat and softly says) yellow hammers. Now I get it. To say yellow is almost taboo at this point but these things just pulled me in from across the room! And i wont even go on calling them "yellows" but what they are, are just insanely vibrant branching hammers that i could not resist!

These pics are true to life. No enhancement whatsoever. I shot them in RAW under radium 250s and all i did was pull the blue out in lightroom. If you'd like details about my camera and setup just ask. Ill be happy to share:)

So here they are


55.00 each

Also got this Aussie brancher that is by all comparison and i know this is a tough color to utter and get away with but..........orange. there I said it

Three heads 155.00

While i was shooting LPS I went and got a good one of this frosted mummy eye. Grown from a smaller piece and in my system over a year now. like I said earlier I am not much an lps guy but I like this one especially the white striped rim. The orange eyes glow!

150.00

Nice hammers Adam! I have a wall hammer that is about the color of the ones in the first photo. It is very cool but I am also not much of an LPS guy either but I have to say lately acans are pretty attractive to me for some reason.

Nah, remember I tried that last year and it was just shy of a disaster. lol.

Not so much. there's a couple scattered under led'sbut for the most part my lps is limited to very few and they are under a small t5 at this time.

The amount of interest in these has been wild but none of you have pulled the trigger yet! Still available!

 

[Pete polyp]

Wow... I figured the twin color would have sold instantly. I'd love to have it, but no room in the tank :-(

 

[dankreef]

I'm with you on that. No one wants LPS from Reef Pets.

The hammer in the second to last pic is hard to decipher the color like you said.. Orange is pretty close though. I have a wall hammer similar to it and man that color is awesome! I am sure someone will buy it up!

I'm going to have to start ordering some corals from you once my new tank is built! I'm originally from WI, so I'll support some 'local businesses'! :)

 

[Pete polyp]

No it's not just you. You have to hype and saturate to sell LPS.. Im not saying that all vendors do it but it certainly is a trend. Im just not willing to take that leap and by the looks of your photos neither are you.
