Whos got the real Pink Lemonaide?

[nicks387]

I'm not naming any names and I hope nobody takes this wrong but it seems to me that a lot of Pink Lemonaide's for sale on BRS look totally different from other Pink Lemonaide's. I have one from BRS and I am picking up another one from outside the club this week. I know for sure the one I am getting is the real deal but why are so many of our Pink Lemonaide's not quite right?
Heres some pics of what It should look like:

Lets see what you guys got?

i think differing tank conditions make for different colors/intensities

my mini colony used to look like this under T5 but has browned out since my tank transfer

 

[jamesdong009]

Nick are you getting the PL from Copps?

 

[nicks387]

Yes I am.

 

[nicks387]

I know what you mean Steve, but even the growth seems different to me.

 

[nicks387]

Most of the ones I see are more like Red Planets then Pink Lemonaide.

Whats a few mis-named corals among friends?

 

[nicks387]

Notice the tips. That's what I see as a big difference.

LOL, here we go with the name calling mine is called shades of fall thats what it was when I got it from (Atlantis). I think it was also called Lime green acro on Tyree site or something like that It varies in color from placement and lighting. Here are some pictures enjoy

 

[nicks387]

Thats a nice one Ronnie. I may have to pay you a visit I think.

 

[buddie]

i have both the brs. p.l. and the tyree p.l. can you tell witch is the real one

I grabbed mine from Highland power and was very green.. Its starting to get alot more pink.. he had 400s 6" away from surface.. i have 150s about 8" away..

Here's a picture.. really green..

Now its really not lol i kinda liked it better before

But i have another frag i got in a trade from a tank with T5s big difference in color

 

[buddie]

the 2 corals are different species, forget about color

 

[sciknen]

To be honest this is the only pic that counts
http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedpinklemonadeacro.htm

and some of those other ones.. really look nothing like this.. Some of em have very skinny skinny tips.. Tyree's look like thick branching?? no?

 

[nicks387]

Thats my point. The one going around this club has pointed tips, to me theres no question its not the real deal. Its still a nice piece dont get me wrong. I am just pointing this out and seeing what others have to say. I cant be the only one questioning the obvious differences. The different lighting/tank thing is understood but doesn't matter in this case as I have seen the 2 side by side in the same tank. I would say 80% of the people in this club that think they have Tyree pink lemonade don't. Almost all the pics I see of this coral online differ from all the pics of it I see in this club. Google it. You will see what I mean.

well you'll get the real deal from Copps, no question about that... and then in a few months you can hook me up with a baby version of the real deal from copps.

?

Looks to me Like Buddie has the PL from his 1st pic, not sure about the second pic althought still a very pretty coral.......

 

[Ronnie]

Nice Pictures everyone. Remember as I posted Looks different in everyones tank Placement, lighting, Flow, Low nutrient tanks, High nutrient tanks, bla, bla, bla Ive placed it in my softy's tank and it has changed color I guess it most of changed to the real Pink lemonade or I can photoshop it what ever color you like Fact has anyone ever got a coral that looked so cool and pastel color in someones tank and put it in yours and months down the road it turned green with blue tips

for clarification my comment about Bubbie's PL was compared to the websight link that was posted. Not knocking anyones posted pics. Actually I would be happy with any of them in my tank.....rob

Rob, I get a kick out of this and sometimes I make fun of things but there is some truth to what a I say. Joke: you mean both pictures are out of focus? Just checked the site. just kidding. If you want a frag I'll give you one for free. And as for Buddies Pictures I have that red stag which is encrusting the hole rock and only 1" 1.5 tall still not as red as his. but it is red and came from him. Any one has this in there tank lets see pictures I know its been for sale a few times? As for bringing a Jason(Buddie) into this I've got corals from him at a meeting and some of the Nice's color and corals I've seen and one of my favorite Rosera somthing like that. By the way no clarifaction needed. I'm just having fun.
