Here's a MOP purchased directly from what the heck. Looks very similar to the original Miyagi tort but it is not identicle.
that's a nice looking colony but why are people paying $250 for an acro that looks like the $35 Cali Tort?

Touch up is one thing, but deceive is another IMO. Some vendors are more known for it than others. To me its almost an insult when photos are so enhanced that it makes me wonder if they think I'm that stupid to believe it.

Stezzy your telling me that when u get one of these new hot chalices for 1k an eye it's gonna look like the pic come on man u my friend r a littel hypocritical that was why I asked about ur avatar pic ! Looks like a watermelon chalice to me! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I see this all the time on here with sps! What makes chalices any different?
i think Billy said it well. Never said the mop was not a nice coral. I haven't seen it with sps here or I probably missed it. Matt, you should check out the sps threads on RC.

Check out my new Miyagi Rainbow (species is a secret!!!)
If I went on a show off thread for the dynamite chalice and said what u guys r saying I'd get my head bitten off ?
Just would like to know what the difference is ?
This thread has completely gotten derailed, it was a thread for people to post pics of their mop for you to compare but has turned into a mop bashing thread...I don't see why anybody would want to even post a pic of their colonies in here anymore. You guys that are criticizing it to death ever seen it in person? Like I said before mine looks similar to the original pic, not as intense but very close.
I started the thread because after i got this frag from what the heck...the first thing that came to my mind is what the heck,
The difference is the dynamite chalice is amazing looking and not all that common. This type of acropora, while nice, isn't something extraordinary IMO. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.If I went on a show off thread for the dynamite chalice and said what u guys r saying I'd get my head bitten off ?

I wouldn't say fully derailed...... I started the thread because after I got this frag from what the heck... the first thing that came to my mind is what the heck, this doesn't look anything like the picture of their "colony." So I started a thread to see what everyone elses looked like grown out, apparently many feel the same way as I do.
