Its been hard to find WYSIWYG Picassos as everyone seems to be only selling Storms/storm variants. However, I've found multiple vendors selling ORA cheek spot and helmet picassos (with the same stock photo every vendor uses)

Has anyone purchased these and can you provide a picture? I'm looking for more A-grade/extreme picassos, and would hate to end up with misbars that barely make the picasso grade. It's just not at all what i'm looking for.

Thanks

Don't bother with those. I ordered them a while back and received regular striped clownfish with a small spot on the face and head.

I mean mine I got from ORA were pretty on point. They were gladiators which I believe is the same?

One had the mask very prominent the other is slightly present

Beautiful fish! Gladiators are A. Ocellaris
Picasso's are A. Percula

Ah gotcha I’ve read that sometimes gladiators are called Picasso as well so when I read mask I thought maybe you meant that!
 
Found a photo of what I got from Ora as a helmet picasso.

Ah dang. Thanks so much for sharing that photo. That is 100% what I pictured id be sent. Actually i lie, i thought it would have more misbarring (is that a word?)
Its crazy because the stock image they use is 10000% different than what you were sent. Did you get a refund?
 
Yes I did. They gave me a hard time but eventually sent me a refund.
 
If you end up getting a pair of picassos, please post photos. Would like to see what you end up getting.
 
Any time you're dealing with a stock image, you may save some money but what you'll get probably won't meet your criteria. They're so many bad ones these days! I'd definitely wait it out and find a nice WYSIWYG pair of Picassos.
