matt the fiddler Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 and that took only 2 mins to do ! seriously. though photoshop can be done clean.. and look real. though extreme. some times the lighting does it.. sometimes the corals are just freaking unbelivable- and need to jsut be drop shipped to me for examination....

AReeferIsExpensive Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Vet- that is exactly what they look like Unlike most ppl, the reason why i photoshopped them is to make them look like they do in my tank. The pic my 5 year old digital camera makes is BAD Link to comment
vetteman Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 ok I believe you.... can you post a pic of the whole colony? they look great... what is you lighting? Link to comment

vetteman Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 just change use the hue adjust in your photo edit program sorry about the fuzzy pic they won't stay still.... Link to comment
Maxvan1 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 cool im gunna try that... is zoom browser ex. a editing program? Link to comment
matt the fiddler Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 nope... it is a browser..... i agree with ethical photoshoping as stated earlier. if by using photoshop you get a more accurate picture of what the coral looks like. then that is ethical.. if you use it to make your coral look more pimped than jsut the camera does [a good macro makes any lousy coral look awesome] then that is pushing the barrier. i know a lot of online retaliers that adjust the color balance because they have blue lights. i am fine with that as well...

MrAnderson Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Regarding toxic zoos: I just bought some zoos and decided to reread the Zoanthid chapter in Borneman's book, as well as read some threads (that's how I found this one). To summarize, the toxic species are Palythoa and Protopalythoa. Zoanthus are not specified as toxic. Morphologically, Palythoa sp. tend to be barrel shaped with short tentacles, and Protopalythoa grow on longer stalks, sometimes singly, with wide flattened oral disks. Both of these species also tend to be have oral disks larger than 0.5 in. Polyps of the Zoanthus genus are smaller and distinguished by a divided sphincter surrounding the oral opening, i.e., they look like they have slitlike mouths. At first I freaked a bit when I read about the poor dog that died, but further study revealed my specimens to be Zoanthus. However, I will probably stop playing in my tank w/o gloves. Link to comment
