Hello guys, good evening. I have never done any shopping online for corals, so i decided to give it a try. I was wondering are these real pics of the corals they send you? As in will this coral look like that under my led light? These photos seem photoshopped or messed with. But if they are i guess wow lol i been missing out on online coral . These are just some of the pics i screenshot obviously.
Thanks again guys.

There is a youtube video with the photo guy at WWC. The photos are indeed edited. They say that they try to get it close to what you actually see. To me the colors seem a bit more intense and full than I would think that they really are, but close.

I agree that everything I've received was very close to the pictures. I haven't been able to keep everything that intense but that's my issue, not theirs.

The photos are “dramatic” but I have never been disappointed with any frags I have purchased from WWC.
That's a good way of putting it "dramatic" It's like that bi-color hammer pic. I've never seen one with the purple that intense in your face, but yeah it certain is purple to the eye, just not as "dramatic" :D I think the black back ground also helps make the colors pop.

Probably most frags you buy based on a digital photo displayed on a digital device like an iPad won’t look the same to the naked eye. Are some pictures ‘enhanced’. Yes, but not all. Just go to a frag swap and all the vendors display under blue lights. Not fake, but also not what you will see with less blue, normal tank lighting.
