Sexy Corals Orange Passion Progress thread

[footballdude2k3]

Giving any coral the correct conditions it will show its true colors.People are just trying to shoot you down schnitzelreef.... Don't worry about the haters

Not trying to hate at all, I said nothing about his pictures, I was just talking about the ones that I have seen at online stores looking photoshopped, I have LEDs, I know how hard it is to get an accurate picture, that's why I asked for people that own it, if it looks like I am seeing online.

I don't think he was talking about u. He was talking about the guy that quoted my previous post. Most pictures I have seen of the orange passion are heavily photoshopped. I could make my OP look exactly like those pics with PS. I don't think anyone's OP looks like that in person though.

However, it's still an awesome piece, and the orange contrast against the blue is pretty unique. My OP is in my frag tank and the nutrients are really low, so it's pretty pale. When I had it in my display tank, the colors were more vibrant.

Thanks for clearing all of that up for me, I want to grab a piece of this at some point, but I can't justify $185 on an inch of coral, yours does look nice, very good work on how big it is.

This is best I've gotten mine to look but this shot was with a lot of blue light


This is with all lights on close as I get to daylight

Nice job keithcorals that second pic shows orange polyps. What do u think cause more orange to pop ?

Is the SC version the same as the RR version? This appears to be a blue coral with orangeish polyps. The RR is green with orange polyps.

Here was my original frag direct from RR Canada during their first launch here on R2R, unfortunately I lost this coral:

As far as I have been told by RR Canada, Sexy corals got it from Canada, so should be same coral. I think it just reacts and colors differently in certain reefs.

Here's my little nub under hydra 52s, getting 400-500 PAR. I've had it for a month and just this week it seems to be taking off, encrusting and growing up.

 

[spspirate]

Looks like you got it right!! Very nice!!

 

[Orly20]

I would like to startup this thread again and see how everyones progress is now?

Here's mine, I just got it two weeks ago. Its very healthy and I get good PE but no colors at all, it looks grey. I hope it colors up soon.

Any suggestions on par and placing will be greatly appreciated!

Mine in really white light. Its a nice piece.

 

[blufin]

Here is mine. It has been in the tank for 1 week. To the naked eye, it looks mostly gray, but the iPhone photo shows a hint of color. Not sure why the photo turns. Sometimes I really hate Apple products.

 

[ReeferBean]

Curious if you guys are paying premium for sticks that are not colored up? Wow Aquanaut looks great.

I see that your frag looks just like mine. The guy from Sexy Coral told me to put it under high light, high random flow and that it takes, "lonnnnggggggg to color up."

I am confident thatine will bounce back with system stability and PATIENCE!!

Charlie, these usually color up pretty quickly. The hard part is getting the orangish polyps which I believe takes more white light.

Unfortunately, yes.
