I just came across an Instagram advertisement post from a scammy corals dot com business that were calling itty bitty single polyp frags colonies.... and the pics were absolutely color enhanced and photoshopped. It suddenly infuriated me and I felt it was a misleading overstated lie of a false claim. Or perhaps I just don’t know what is considered to be a colony nor can’t spot fake over blown colours.
This hobby is full of snake oil, and over priced items and corals. It really seems that some companies will go to great lengths to make false claims of rarity and colour variations or stupid made up names to over charge, and trick the buyer.
Uggggh I needed to vent, as I have been a victim of these scams.
Shame on anyone doing these things, and please do not support the scammers. We need to start calling out the scammers as it gives the hobby a bad rap.
Peace, love, respect.....sorry for the rant.
