What a coral!

Rate this Entry
I have had this lobophyllia for at least four years. It should be a bigger colony by now, but neighboring corals did a number on it. Still, I love the giant polyps of this LPS coral and view it (located in the front right corner of my reef) daily. Yesterday I hopped up on the walkboard to take a few topdown pictures when the lighting was in 20,000K mode. All that blue makes corals pop naturally, but the camera just captures a blue haze. It always impresses me how our eyes can see things correctly, without any effort on our part.

However, when I moved the slider over in Lightroom to eliminate that blue, boy was this a stunning coral on my computer screen. That's why it's my favorite picture this week. So far.
