Adobe Lightroom app for iOS has a pretty good white balance function and a few other adjustments included with the free version. 44 minutes ago, WV Reefer said: Some people use apps on their phone or computer. Some use gel filters to achieve the proper color. Thank you, I’ll check that out😁 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Does my stunner chalice look normal? I was just looking at him and I thought that he looked different? Does he look like he’s losing color? 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ve just been using my phone and iPad, and they don’t look amazing. I use the aquarium cam app for most of my photos... It's $3 or $4... Money well spent, in my opinion for most pictures under blue lights. 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 So my order from saltcritters just came in. I ordered a dragon soul favia and 3 mystery corals. This is what I got. If anyone wants to chime in and tell me what I got, that would be greatly appreciated. Pretty sure 2 acans, and I have no idea what the other thing is. 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I figured out the one frag that I didn’t know. It is a brain coral Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have a confession to make. I know that my one anemone lost a few tentacles last night, but I made an impulse buy. Please don’t be mad, because I got an amazing deal. Literally once in a lifetime. I got a small neon red carpet anemone for 20 bucks. I could not just sit by and let somebody else grab it. It’s beautiful. So if anyone is mad go ahead and say so. I saw online they are around 500 bucks Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I will post a picture later tonight when he’s all open I’m going to upgrade my tank to a bigger one within the year, so I will move him to that when he gets bigger Quote Link to comment

But i guess you didn’t say u got a mini, you said u got a small one. So hopefully, your dream comes true and that thing lives long enough to turn into a true red Gigantea. Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Does yours look like this? (This is my red mini btw) It seems odd that a red carpet would be priced very cheaply. I checked online and it is very expensive, as you've said. Do you have a pic of your nem? Quote Link to comment

I will get you pics in a few minutes. I found the poor guy at pet smart. They just got him in and they priced him as a mini maxi carpet nem It somewhat resembles that, but a little different also Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Resembles this guy, but the colors on him don’t pop as much. Hoping once my lighting has a chance to affect him, he will turn deeper colors. He was under the lighting at pet smart which isn’t that bright. Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Right now he looks kinda like a rainbow Sorry about the glass. Need to clean it Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 He’s a very pretty nem Quote Link to comment
DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That's really cool, but did you by chance research that nem?? I just did a quick search and it's not a good nem for a beginner. In fact even advanced aquarist have trouble with them. If this is what you have, you may wanna read this... http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_6/volume_6_3/capranem.html This definitely isn't something that should be in a 29 gallon with other corals.. I hope I'm wrong with what I think it is though. I say good luck if it is though. Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I picked him up for 20 bucks, very good deal. I’m upgrading to a 55 here soon, so I’ll move him to that if it is what you think it is. He seems to be doing great right now. He’s open and his colors are beautiful and bright. 7 hours ago, DSFIRSTSLTWATER said: That's really cool, but did you by chance research that nem??

Jeff Hood Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Good luck with that guy. Looks awesome. Can’t wait to see it out and full. I’ve never had good luck with Anemones. Of course it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve tried to keep one. I’m just hoping to keep a BTA again in one of my small tanks. Looking forward to seeing your progress with it. 1 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Looks more like a regular maxi mini too me. An open picture with clean glass would be really helpful to know exactly what you have... 1 Quote Link to comment
