    Just got this new coral, mauve lobophyllia, from Aquatic Auctions. Pic is with 150w 14k MH. The mouths are bright orange and polyps are mauve/teal, the colony is pretty large

    Looks great! When taking the pic though, adjust your white balance (a camera function) and that will help show us the true colors of the coral without the blue from your lighting... just some food for thought.

    Thanks to Froc3 for the pic suggestion, I'm soooo bad with taking pics.

    Thanks, Luna!
