Photo Tomfoolery to sell coral frags... your thoughts:

[Dugless]

It’s hard to have a thread like this created based upon photos that have been re edited and displayed like this. Our original photos are extremely accurate as to how these corals look in our display under blues but what is posted in this thread is not what we ever posted...... on a side note, over time we have noticed that not all monitors, phones, displays etc present the same colors and images as to how the coral initially looked after editing. The other day in our store we held a Samsung phone display next to an Apple product which these photos were edited on and there were two completely different corals shown between the two phones. The Samsung looked saturated and while the other on the Apple phone looked extremely accurate as to how the coral looks in person. To re edit these photos in an attempt to make someone look bad just for a conversation topic in a thread is unfair.

Some screens differ, yes, but I’m still doubting this explanation here. The difference is staggering.

Their photo was doctored by someone. That crazy saturated one they didn’t put out.

Why would someone edit an already saturated photo? Seems more likely that the vendor photos were updated on their site?

Vivids photos are actuate
They said so in their rebuttal post

But the regular saturated one is perfectly acceptable as long as it’s not crazy?

I do remember that night the photo was posted scrolling between the photos on this thread and the ones done by the vendor on the other thread and not noticing any differences like in their last post even tho they are both ridiculous to me

What I thought and what I bought..black Friday sales.

Unique corals will not do business with them again..

I’ve been burned by a large coral vendor on here once. Figured the largest most well known coral vendors on here were certainly legit and not doctoring the photos but I fell victim for trusting this large coral sponsor/ vendor. I did not complain I just simple never bought from them again. Corals I received were not even close to the photo posted on there website or the live sale picture. Lesson learned, when I do buy online which is not often( I have a lot of lfs’s to choose from here in SoCal) I have found that some of the coral/sponsor vendors on here give a true representation of there corals and those are the ones I purchase from now. Not to mention the crazy prices the same photo doctoring coral vendors/sponsors charge that are also the ones doctoring the photos of the corals. Get burned and you live and learn from shady business practices and the absurd prices for those same corals.

I feel you. That vendor lost my business after that rip off. Well actually 2 different vendors.

Bad service exists because we allow it. If we don't act, it will keep happening again and again and I'm sure nobody here wants to deal with someone that's dishonest and ripping people off.

Ive bought a crap load from them.. NEVER any issues. They have them under blue LED and you have them under incandescent light. They will prob look different under blues only. Well one looks dead but that happens.
