TSA Sourpatch acropora what does it really look like?

[Backreefing]

I’m looking at the Tsa sourpatch acropora. All pictures of it are in heavy actinic light . Does someone have one in white light ?
I would hate to buy a diamond and get a lump of coal . thx

These do not look like heavy blue.

All the pictures are indeed in heavy blue actinic. Maybe as low as 410 min . They look great . But I’m a Halides guy so white is what I’m stuck with. @14000k and a little blue plus t5 . I can’t light the aquarium like in the avatar movie .
I can tell it’s heavy blue by looking at the plug, and surrounding.

The plug isn’t blue and I think you are mistaken the black background as blue. It’s not 14k but definitely not all blue. As far as the colony pic goes idk.

i was correct the pictures are taken in heavy actinic. I went to the link and it listed the light the photo was taken in . Thx for replying .

I saw the sale price on this and was wondering the same thing. Looks nicer than some of the high dollar sticks out there.

here’s a pic of mine. I’ll be transparent and say it did bleach a tiny bit and is now getting its colors back

I'd say it's not to far off from a Garf Bonsai.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. Structure looks the same.

Has anyone else ordered this piece and have a daytime picture?

I am top shelf aquatics photographer. The difference in Sour patch and Garf bonsai is sour patch gets brighter green polyps and thicker branches.
