I went with the acan, the polyps are pretty but more orange than red.

Thank you, someone red what the contest is. Luscious Red not blurry orange!

[rmalone]

Now be nice Rob, lol.

Ouch dude! Its bright red not orange and they are a little blurry but only since the up load for some reason. The pics of the acans are pretty nice though.

[ReeferRob]

Now be nice Rob, lol.

Im being nice, its not a personal attack at all. I think its a beautiful colony and Im jealous its not in my tank. The picture is good, but is it POTM quality? IMHO it is not. It's a bit out of focus and isn't a true representation of what the actual coral looks like, which probably is a deeper luscious red. I think it is a very nice picture, but to my eyes is not a true red.

[jimsflies]

Smack talkin'...the contests are heating up here on CR! :)

It seems we are still close to a split...votes are 15 -16 right now!

Maybe I can talk kee's into a consolation prize for the winner since the votes are so close?

and to think you were worried that my RBTA picture was gonna win... guess people dunno a good quality picture when they see one.

[rmalone]

Sorry but RBTA's aint not red, they are orangey pink at best. Neither are ANY of the acros that people call red. JMO, but it's right, lol.

I liked your RBTA pic better than both of these if that matters. It was at least in focus.

[Sir Patrick]

Its close!!!

People are funny, I think youre picture was far and away the best pic of the lot. But like mentioned above wasn't red. I'd save that one for a nem POTM contest for sure!

[marc49127]

Voted #2! Number one is very nice but the acans are just so red!

[Chelle's Ocean]

#2 stole my vote, lol :)

[cephalotus]

I voted #2 because they are red and slightly less out of focus.:roll:

[Kev Apsley]

got my vote in...both pics are insanely nice!

[Hopkins]

Acans are so last year. Zoanthids are timeless classics. :)

[detroit_fan]

I like #1, but both are very nice

[tazzy695]

I had to vote for the acan mostly due to the fact it was in focus where as the other one wasn't

ill have to disagree with you, my RED bubble tip.. sure does look red...

[EMUreef]

yup, roses are red, violets are blue.... wait wtf violet is purple (check a crayon box if u doubt me) who the **** came up with that poem bs is a freakin idiot!

lol actually violets the flower if you look it up..some are actually blue..crazy i know.

[ReeferRob]

I agree in person they are red as red can be. Capture that on film or digi film is difficult because they are translucent.

[ReeferRob]

LMAO, we need to close voting during happy hour is people think the acan is out of focus. Its actually just a ton of detail that was missed from an inferrior camera that makes it appear as though it is out of focus but isn't. Or at least not quite as bad as the other.

The edges are kinda fuzzy. The "other" is also 8" behind glass in its home not stuck on a acrylic frag rack 1/4" below the surface. But anyway no excusses for inferior pic quality on my part its the one I entered and its fuzzy. Now that we have that out in the open (again lol) can we get on with the voting! Rob good luck in the last hours of the contest it is a nice pic!

[jimsflies]

We had some great entries for this contest! Even with the rematch, both photos were nearly tied in the voting. However, we do have a winner...congrats to ReeferRob for his outstanding luscious red acan photo.

Rob gets the $50 gift certificate to Kees Aquarium for his winning photo. He also gets a golden camera added to his CR trophy case. Look for Rob's photo to be featured on the CR home page soon!

[ReeferRob]

Hey Jaime, meet ya Sunday at Kee's and I'll buy ya a frag!?
