No, but that looks fantastic!

That does look pretty incredible!

yeah man.. but again, its just an orange filter looker piece
you know what I mean?

Not sure if i should pull 100$

Yeah that's the bummer with a lot of Tenuis. The blue in the all blue is most likely white, but still pretty cool looking. I'd hit him up to check it out in person, some people struggle with daylight shots.

Those frags in the last Pic look REALLY bad. I wouldn't buy one that looked like that.

They look like they started to encrust.

They look like they started to encrust.

yes they did encrust already.. so not too bad I guess.

Are these ready in your tank?

I was talking about how pale they were. If you just bought them and they were shipped and you snapped pictures, then pale is pretty normal.

It’s a wild Maricultured Tenuis. I will not have any “lineage’d name” and will probably morph into several different colors as it adapts to captivity. The frags don’t look terrible to me bc it appears to be a full spectrum filtered pic

It reminds me of this acro not sure what exactly the name is but I got the picture from here I think part of a Coral spotlight.

Not to get off topic, but that huge change in color reflection under artificial lights is one of the major problems we have in this hobby today. I don't even konw how most people can deal with that problem today. It is very frustrating to say th least, right? So, the color in the first picture is directly dependant on the LED settings we have over that colony, and the second picture is the "plain real deal" of the colors of that particular specimen under a more "normal" light setting. It must be so hard to purchase any coral at the stores and shows because of that. Not to mention from online vendors! Plus, the high price they give for the corals is totally dependent on the LED colors for reflection (or any other lighting settings) and also photoshop. I'm sorry, but the differences in this particular case are shocking to say the least. It's a very sad situation. Did the frags loose pigments that bad, or the colors are exclusively due to changes in light?

That “looks” like vivids confetti. Beautiful coral but not a Tenuis

I can not disagree with you. Absolutely true

If buying in person. I look at coral from top down and through glass. You get 2 perspectives and color differences.
If it looks good to you. Then buy it. I would never look at any coral through an orange filter and buy as that's not how I view my aquarium on daily basis. The key to buying in person is you get to see what the coral may look like under similar lighting.

Some people use these filters to try and capture what they see with normal viewing in Pic or video if they can't capture it with there camera equipment by itself.
