These are my "name brand" frags...
Wolverine  Diablo  Pink Floyd... The yellow tip piece...  Poison Ivy... Pink piece  Here are the no name Reef Raft stuff... Top row... Sec from the right  Orange Millie in top row Deep water red acro  I have a few more but this gives you an idea of the incredible hype in the brand name pieces that lead to bitterly dissapointment for the money you pay.

Reef Raft have an amazing ability to colour up corals in their systems. For most mortals it's fought to achieve the same levels of colour in their systems. I don't hate on RR for their spa and colours, that's why I paid big bucks for some of the pieces. Will I do it again, time will tell. I have to see how these look in 6 months or so. If they don't colour up to at least 80% of what the pictures look like, I won't buy anymore RR stuff.
What I'm trying to get across is don't hate someone for buying RR stuff, it's their right and their money

All the other pieces came from Frag Box and for the no name RR pieces I have not been disappointed in how they have turned out based on what I paid for them.

Ive had the pleasure of getting all giddy from ordering rr corals multiple times. My rr corals are the same as everyone else. I always understood that these wild pieces they bring in take time to there true captivity colors and I've actually emailed Jason on several occasions to ask for updated pics, and like the rest of us his corals are mostly the same subpar colors.
I've honestly gotten nicer maricultured corals at a quarter the cost

If y'all are waiting for them to get to the same colors as the marketing pictures, you're going to be waiting a long time.

As the Reef Raft SPS pieces came on the market I was able to drive over and see many of the actual mother colonies in person. Around the time Reef Raft USA was started, the pipeline going through Reef Raft Canada to Reef Raft USA brought some of the most amazing SPS I have ever seen.
This was the Red Diablo photo circulating at that time……..  These are my frags, from the original mother colony shown in the above picture, and set them up in my SPS system. Fingers crossed I was going to be able to keep the insane colour…..  Here is what the colony and frags look like today…    RR Wolverine Original colony……  My frag from that original colony….  And what it looks like today……..   RR Pink Floyd Original Colony  My frag from the original colony  What it looks like today….
