A wonderful macro demonstrating a wide spectral pattern.  Although some may have other favorites, It's hard to argue that this LPS isn't demonstrating some of the most striking colorations of all the coral

There are some amazing photographers in this community, I have to say. I love this one! Please, if you have this image on high resolution, is it possible to have a copy – I would like to frame it :cheer:

You're right! There has been some amazing photography. I believe this originated in a thread by HPham and can be found here. From the text, it seems this may have been of a coral on his wish list. Han, if you read this, let us know more!

yes by far the best specimen I have seen. THese thing are pretty rare to come by and when they do, they can command a high price. I think it has a price tag of $2300. Thats a whole lot better than $2500 for a one eye frag of my miami hurricane

YIKES! :ohmy:

That's like the cost of a whole system. Han, it's time for you to take some more macros for us. ;)

Thanks for the info, Kona boy!

Hey Han, do you have this photo on higher resolution? I’m really interested in printing a copy and then framing it. You have some amazing photos in your tank build thread, but this one, for me, stands out and is definitely a great choice for photo of the week as Skipper mentioned earlier!

But please don’t charge me the same price as the live specimen (lol!). Like what Kona boy said, gosh that thing costs a lot of money. I think I’ll be fine with just the photo ;)

I had a coral real similar to this that was a cynarina that I lost in my last move to my new house. I was not a happy camper. I only paid $90 for the one I bought but that was six years ago. I will have to dig up my archive photos and post pics of the one I had...

Awesome coral!

If you don't have a camera by the time I come up and check your tank, I can bring up my Canon DSLR + 100mm macro lens if you want to mess with it.
