Stratospheres

[SCOTTLAV88]

Hey curious what y’all think. In your opinion are these stratospheres? Just seems to be more of a gold background than a black background. Just want a second opinion before paying a pretty penny for them. Thanks

I would ask to see the mother colony.
Doesnt look like a tell tale stratosphere.
Even the young polyps in this photo grow in black.

My wife doesnt think they are stratospheres either

Not a strat. There’s lots of ‘near Strats’ that are floating around.

Google aquatic ops ‘tropospheres.’

Posting a similar for reference. It’s a very very nice Stratocaster but that’s about it.

100% not a strat. Here's mine for reference

Those look more along the lines of stratosphere but still something is off i think.
The circles are too symmetrical.

you're right, but I feel like the start getting less symmetrical when they start growing bigger, although its kinda cool to see the size different.

Very true!

I was just judging by your biggest polyp but it could not be matured enough.

The photo i posted first looks like the smaller polyps are more symmetrical forsure so im crossing my fingers!

And also, how about a single or double polyp trade for my bloodshot seduction in my pfp

oooh that one looks good, I feel like the older they are, the more the yellow along the outside starts to dissipate.
