Ultra Yellow Hammer Coral

mike61289 · 03/12/2019, 11:50 AM

I just got the yellow hammer yesterday. It's one head so far but splitting in 2 already. I'm curious to know what I could do to make the yellow really stand out so that it isn't just looking green. I'm using the Maxspect Razor for lighting.

Thanks.

Do you know the lighting conditions the seller took the picture under? Replicate those.

Coral color is sometimes snake oil due to the effect of lighting.

I didn't buy it online. I bought it at the store. I could ask him, although he tends to keep the blue lights on higher than white to showcase the colors better.

Thanks for the suggestion.
