Visit to Coral Props, with camera

[returnofsid]

Angie, Madison and I went out to visit Henk, at Coral Props, today, to pick up a few corals and I took the camera along, as usual. Some are colonies that frags are cut from, some are actual frags, some are still in QT and will be available soon, ALL are mouth watering, even if my photos don't always capture their true beauty. Please keep in mind, all pictures are taken without any artificial light. Henk grows everything in his greenhouse, which he's recently covered with a 50% blue cloth, to offer the corals relief from full sunlight, which has been scarce over here, lately.

I've never been a big fan of Fungia but this one is to die for!!

Single Polyp, many mouths.

This one's gonna be NICE. The subtle blue/purple that you can barely see in the photo, surrounds this polyp.

A glimpse, from the center of this gorgeous and large Elegance Coral!! I should have switched lenses to get a picture of the entire colony.

These will be out of QT soon, and Angie will probably snap them up!

This colony is also coming out of QT soon, and if Henk would have let me, I'd have snapped up the entire colony, today...lol. Watch for frags of this one in the near future, on his website.

A while ago I saw several gray-blue ric's they had, and got about 12 of them. Amazing to thing they came out of a snow covered place :)
