Yes, I ordered from RRUSA during their last live sale and the frags I received were a joke. I honestly thought about reporting them to the BBB it was so bad. Never again. Their photoshopped coral pics are a joke. Steer clear.
Not to say that they could have some nice corals, but they won't look anything like their pics
First person i hear that speaks on vivids pieces. Always wondered how they look in person vs. Photo..Any acro pic that just “pops” or glows is going to be underwhelming IMO/E
The all blue taken with a filter is becoming the norm it seems.
Sellers like Battle Corals (myself LOL) a few others take true to life pics for the stuff they sell and what you get is what you see.
Buyer beware these days.
And to answer the OPs questions yes I have, many frags (90 percent) of a pack from vivid was disappointing but I knew going going into it they won’t look like the sale/WYSIWYG pic
Both, but the frags themselves when they arrived were basically colorless. Worst I've seen from anyone vendor or hobbyist.Just out of curiosity...was the disappointment for most of you folks when you got the corals and colors were not like in the picture or after they have grown?
Some of it is it’s not wyswyg like they claim others is photo shopped to look like it never will other times for me anyway is a one inch frag is not longer one inch but you pay for itJust out of curiosity...was the disappointment for most of you folks when you got the corals and colors were not like in the picture or after they have grown?
A lot of the cornbred acros really dissapoint me. Some are very nice though... but mostly I find them disappointing.
I was at Vivid earlier this year. Saw all of their backroom grow out tanks as well as their giant display. Under both full day time lights and full actinic. Their pics are a little too generous in my opinion and the corals don't quite look as nice in person. They have very nice pieces though. I took pics...one of these days I'll get around to posting themFirst person i hear that speaks on vivids pieces. Always wondered how they look in person vs. Photo..
Second person I have seen (who I trust) say this but what is weird is that there is multiple people out there who claim they have been to the shop and they say it is amazing thereBoth, but the frags themselves when they arrived were basically colorless. Worst I've seen from anyone vendor or hobbyist.

I've always wondered that. Some rainbow seem so diverse as frags, but grow out and look meh.A lot of the "rainbow" ones that ended up with only like 2 colors.

I would have felt deceived. Thats why allot of people ask for 10-12k spectrum pics.
If they are the pieces you see on FB auctions they aren’t even close even with all blue LED and a filter that has become the norm these days.
I bought frags from all of these and about 13 more- not even close but I know they will be nice just never what you’ll see in these.
It’s not the all blue nor the combo of the filter, I can say even with as little of photography editing I do have, these are not WYSIWYG
But I knew that going into it I feel bad for all those that don’t know and get taken for huge dollars
Sorry if I’ve derailed the thread a bit
