Do you think growing from 2 polyps to 13 is a fast or slow growing rate for purple hornets in 2 1/2 months

Last I heard the growth rate on true PH's was about a polyp per month. With that kind of growth I would question whether or not they are PH's.

It looks like you got a little excited about the saturation slider in PS, but it sounds like good growth.
Nice looking zoa's even if they aren't ph's.

I think your seeing the wrong ones its the ones on the side of the Everlasting Gobstoppers those are Real Deal Purple Hornets got them from Juniromc8704 aka smokinreefs

Iam shooting with a Nikon D60 a was playing with my white balance that day no Photo shop here. I dont know how to use mi Nikon very much yet
But i will get better pics today just to leave the people who think there fake :crossedlips:

People should get good evidence before they start busting my PH they are fake

Thats a good rate they tend to speed up after the first new polyps
Mines are under PM T5 light and i feed them every other day with rods food and cyclopeez

Hello Eggie - Don't let the photography snobs worry you. Some think it’s a requirement on R2R to be an expert at photography before posting. They forget they started as a beginner at some point. With the camera’s these days I can make my photos look completely different but we all forget about the lighting. You don’t need to do a thing (PS) to make them appear as if they had been manipulated. I’ve seen a few photos of some of the same people that are screaming PS do the same but they actually did PS (I’m sure they wouldn’t admit it). The point isn’t about your white balance nor if you did or didn’t PS your photos – this thread is about growth of Purple Hornets isn’t it. If you can see the growth of the Purple Hornets, who cares if it was photo shopped or not – shish.

Nice photos eggie – I can see you’re getting great growth. I’m also getting great growth with mine – I’d like to post a photo but I’m not really good with my camera so I really don’t want to put up with attacks by a few on this site. At times this site is worst than RC.
