A con from AquaCon.com?

Sorry not to sidetrack but what did you use to enhance that pic? An app?

Yes, the eagle eyes, whammin watermellons whatever there called are the same. Just different photo skills, camera settings, clean up, photoshop, whatever. But they are the same zoas. The other 2 are not, the ones they sold you as tubs blues are not tubs blues and the other ones are not even close, So you got 1 right and 2 wrong, but if they said it was an error and gave you a full refund then you really have nothing more to be upset about. It may have been an error, it can happen with zoas, if they were a bit closed up at ship time, and were mixed up with a lot of other zoos.

On a side note, I can't believe these guys are still around after all the negative stuff I have read about them.

I think alot of the reason for them still being around is local sales, I live about 15 minutes from them and you can actually pick up from the shop

I have seen nothing but bad reviews about them which is ashame because the old owner was a good guy but it seems like these new people are nothing more than scumbags as EVERY review I have seen of them is nothing but bad news of people getting ripped off with orders not complete or not at all what they were supposed to get

Their pic is most likely enhanced.
Here is yours with a bit of cleanup.

O.K I guess we can agree to disagree,


. . . but I'm a highly skilled photographer with plenty of experience taking macro photos of corals and using photoshop and I have seen Eagle Eye Zoos with pink in the center and no matter how much I was to try I do not believe I could make the Eagle center of the polyps I got turn pink in color or look pink in color. Now I can not speak to the end user looking at these photos online because monitors vary a great deal in their color rendition. What I can say is that in real life, looking at these polyps in person there is no mistaking the bright orange center. There is zero, zip, nada pink. The Eagle Eyes I wanted, which are advertised on the site, which I have seen in other folks tanks, are pink in the middle so I really feel they are not the same at all. Orange is not the same as pink, and for premium prices I expect premium color.

I always thought eagle eyes were orange and whammin watermelons were pink?

Eagle eyes have an orangish red ring around the center (occasionally with splashes if green) and green fingers. Your second pic, like a lot of other people in this thread and I have said, is definitely eagle eyes. You can argue all you want, but from my experience and IMO they are eagle eyes and I would not feel bad for selling them as eagle eyes.

I think the issue isn't that they aren't eagle eyes, it's that they aren't what was represented in the photo when he purchased them. Not being very familiar with coral yet, I'd agree that they look like the eagle eyes I've seen via google... but they are very much differen't than the picture he posted of what the site had them listed as.
