I still need one! Just not REAL bad. Running carbon passively ATM until I get my grubby hands on that tlf.

Thought this was kinda neat. Just uploaded some LPS shots for another thread and was looking at older pictures of the same corals. Funny how coral growth sort of sneaks up on you that you don't really see day by day or even week by week but throw a few months or a year under the belt, and "wow."

Need to get some updated shots of the Acans and a few of the SPS. The Red Planet in particular is crazy how much it has grown.

What growth form are you getting on your Red Planet Tony? Have any photos?

[lastlight]

Very nice! Howzabouts a fts?

Nice growth Tony.
Glad to hear you're getting growth on the SPS as well. Looks like you've gotten over your SPS jinx.

[Doug]

Nice Tony.

Thanks guys

The Red Planet is an extraordinarily difficult coral to photo. Every time I try, basically you get the edges completely washed out and overexposed whereas the inside bits are too dark. Compensating exposure in any direction makes the other worse. So I've had rather limited success with photos with a number of cameras.

Did manage this one with some random experimenting with post-processing. So this is more mangled than I usually do but at least it "sort of looks like how it looks for real."
