Has anyone bought and grown out a piece of JF Frankies Gumdrop? If so can you share a photo? Here is the photo from the website. With 20 plus years experience I am fully aware that corals look different in different tanks and often morph colors, but a) I'm pretty good at growing colorful SPS that look like the mother colony, b) I am also a decent photographer, c) I have essentially the same lighting as Jason, and d) even as a tiny frag the coral never came even close to the picture below. My point is I don't mind a coral that is hyped as long as the basic colors are there. As an example here is my newly acquired WD frag which does in fact have the colors advertised, and with a little photo editing can be made to look not unlike some of the online photos.
I guess in the end I'm wondering if I got a frag of something else by mistake that's why I'm hoping someone has a colony and a photo so I can compare.
My new WD frag.
and my best photo edited version of my Gumdrop colony.
