Ok to start yes I am complaining, I admit it but still wanted to know if some people agree with me
I spent a pretty penny on corals I bought online and despite the claim that the photos were not doctored up I feel like some trickery was used to make it seem like I was buying something different than what I bought. I bought corals and they were supposed to be red.... they seem quite green and brown to me I

They are cool corals BUT DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS ONLINE

I feel like these are comparable to any other corals and not red. There overdramatic description tricked me and I had to work over time to buy corals I could have bought at half the price...Has this happened to anyone else

Happened w me on a LTA. Picture was a premium purple. It is very brown. At 20K I can see a slight hint of purple on the tips. Spent way too much for a brown LTA. Lesson learned.

If you file a claim they will ban you from ordering from them in the future.

On another note. I just down loaded a pic from their site. It is wysiwyg e-11-15-08-1.jpg

I feel as though at this point being banned from Extreme Corals is better than not being banned!

Oh no those first photos aren't photoshopped! And my name is Jeff Bezos.
What I want to know is how do people like that sleep at night? Do they not have any shame? Or any pride? WHY do this. WHY lie? Your clientele isn't infinite. You'd make more money from long time customers than making someone angry for several hundred bucks.
Not just that but it's a jerk move.

For me there's no need to be mad..... I just thought I'd share it with y'all so maybe someone doesn't make the same mistake.. don't get mad get even

Well, I'll be mad for you. Cause I've been there too. Lied to pretty much to my face. And I DID ask questions, so even then you can't be sure.
