You sure? It looks a lot like the Pink Floyd I've seen in a few other tanks.

I agree it does look tweaked, I couldn't find a more neutral picture of it.

Who's tank have you seen it in?

I'm pretty sure.....ask Jay though.

I think Darryl is right



This for sure is the Pink Floyd and the polyps actually look PINK. (much lighter yellow as well)...tough to say though...it could be the same coral just a white balance issue (the contrast seems really dark on it).

[ScubaSteve]

Ya, to me that looks like the same coral just lighter either from white balance or higher light. Either way, it's the same species from what I can tell.

I've actually been sitting all weekend comparing these reef raft pics with some of the pics of the frags that are available throught he reef raft group order. Some of them look SO close to the ReefRaftUSA corals, but the pictures we were sent suck a bit so it's a bit tough to tell.

[reefermadness]

I'll put it this way...all the pics (even rrusa) are taken by Jay in canada. If they were the same...he would have gave you the same pic and told you the name. At least that only makes sense to me.

[wickedfrags]

it is not, they have gotten in about 4 of these colonies the last 4-5 months

When I was in TO in the summer for a conference I made the trek out to Jay's and while there I met a dude from TO (I think his name was Chris? Rich young guy, wore a suit, lived downtown near the waterfront). He gave me a ride back to TO to save me from having to take the bus back. We stopped at his place to check out his tank and he had it there (at least that's what he said it was). Looked very similar to the pic Titus99 posted. From the amount of cash this guy had thrown into this tank I wouldn't have doubted him it it was actually a Pink Floyd and he had dropped a stupid amount for it. His looked darker yellow and the polyps looked dark pink, not the light pink we see in the reefraft pic.

Either way it's still a nice coral. Looks the same to me really (in fact I think the knock off might look better with the deeper colours) and I'm not too concerned with lineage. Just care if it looks nice!

Reefer and Hydrologist: I was hoping you guys would just into this thread. I think the two of you have my two favourite SPS tanks in Canada. More pics?

Dave, the LED are ok, in that they retained most of my coral's colors. Some went downhill...my efflo which was purple on green is now grey on grey. My pink and blue milli is now my nice blue milli. A couple others lost a bit of bang, although I just nuked my tank with pesticides, so not a good week to be judging colors -lol
Overall, if you have Radiums and no GOOD (cost, evaporation, etc) reason to switch them out, I'd stick with them.
