I have actually purchased one from lfs. Just wanting to see other pictures. And no it is not a hammer.

orange means brown with normal lights and orange under actinics or 20k

I don't doubt he has an orange frogspawn. There have been some nice colours showing up in Aussie shipments. I have a couple true gold torch corals. My wife just bought an all pink wall hammer at the LFS. She says it's a nice pastel pink, not bleached, and has a pink base as well. I'll take a picture of it when I get home!

Here is my Yellow/gold torch:

Lets see a picture of your orange frogspawn!

Not everyone tries to put off brown as orange or gold in the torches case.....

There is a local guy here that has an orange frogspawn. Since I'm a FREAK for Euphyllia, I've been bugging him for EVER for a head of it.... sofar, I still don't have a head.

I'll see if I can dig up a pic of it. It's absolutely AMAZING !

lol....no, orange means ORANGE.

I had one...and have pics....lost the damn thing only last week due to a simple, but stupid mistake on my part.....i've seen it come in 3 or 4 times (to the same store) over the past 2 years....it'll come again.

In my case it comes from Indo....orange torches are coming in with Aussie shipments...although my local aussie purveyor posted an ad about "aussie frogspawns" last weekend....might have to stop by this week to check it out.

i'll post the pics once I find them.

I actually just bought a hammer coral just like this a few days ago from ORG. Yes it does look brown to some people but I think it is orange. Quite rare IMO.

Hey poukie you said you have a pic of a really orange frogspawn? post it up.

I can't Find it ! !!

I was in to my LFS last week and guess what they had? A shipment of Aussie corals.

They had three orange hammers, and one orange torch.

One of the hammers was AMAZING ! ! I SOOOOOO wanted to go home with it, but it was $200, and it was only the size of my fist. :(

I should have taken pics....DAMN! I'll go back today and see if it's still there, and i'll take pics if I can.

If it is from ORG, I actually bought one of them this Thursday when they received the shipment. I got it for $90, I will take a picture of it and post it up.

Did you see the torch with a green base? It looked really good but not for $50 a head. :eek:

I don't think these people care to see an orange torch or hammer.......they're after an orange frogspawn.

Here's my orange froggie, shown with 3 slightly different, (but still acceptable!) white-balance settings - for all you haters. Any of you still think it's brown? go here (http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.asp)

I've never understood what the big deal about these orange euphilia are. To me they look brown.

But to each his own. If you like them, you like them. Maybe they look different in person.

lol...there's no "big deal" as far as i'm concerned...well, maybe apart from the fact that some people can't tell the obvious difference b/w brown and orange.

Some people say orange is really brown....i'm here to say: no! orange means orange and here's the (my) proof. I've been around long enough in this hobby that I know what a brown frogspawn looks like compared to an orange one. The former i've seen countless times...the orange i've only seen a handful.

And no, it doesn't look different in person; it's exactly as you see it in the photos.

No, it wasn't at ORG, it was at SeaUMarine.

i have seen several of the orange wall hammers and frogspawn yes some are more orange then others but if my lfs owner wouldnt have told me, did u see the orange hammers and frogspawn we got in this week !!!! i would have past them by and not even pay any mind to what they were imo they are over rated but like u guys said to each his own. i would rather spend my 200 bucks on a nice blasto or scoly but again thats jmo

I guess I'm one of those people, because your pics look brown to me. If you like them that is what matters, just don't expect everyone to go crazy for them.:)

Not "hating" but yes, they still do look brown to me :D

Under heavy actinic they look nice, but otherwise they're rather bland looking.

my god......alright...it's a brown frogspawn...you guys are right, i'm soo trying to pull the wool over your eyes....you never seen one in real life, so it must not exist - or if anyone says they have one and try to prove it, they must be out to lunch. lol...crissakes.

I got a frag of the same Orange Frogspawn from Zach but it didn't make it as well. It is true Orange under normal natural sunlight and will lit up even more under MH and Actinic lights.
For what's worth .... the Tip is Orange whereas the rest is Purplish Blue tint.

You asked if your pics look brown and I told you that I think they look brown. Has nothing to do with "hating," nothing to do with you pulling one over my eyes and nothing to do with what i've seen in my life. You asked and I answered. :D

Patwa
03/03/2009, 01:14 PM
my question was rhetorical; I don't need to ask anyone to verify if my frogspawn was brown or not - I know it's orange (tipped - as Paul noted).....i'm the one who sought it out, bought it and now is posting pics of it.

the 'hating' was aimed at post #5 and anyone else with who makes slighted posts of that nature.

lol @ this thread.....time for a break.
