yep.. definitely true, Rev.....a lot of these pics were prolly taken soon after unpacking the shipment....just as with other corals, these lords do react to prolonged periods of stress (e.g. some colonies don't even have their mantles inflated)...this definitely intensifies the colour a bit

but yeah....in any case, there's no way i'd pass up a coral like that last one!! ;) :D

here's an aussie i have....this pic was taken right after unpacking...it looks mighty intense....it's much more muted now, with a more rusty red/orange colour, with slight hints of green and red ...I have 10,000K mh lighting with actinic supplementation...(Reefraft had 20K Radiums on the tank if i'm not mistaken....don't quote me tho)

Very Nice. I do think that ReefRaft has a lot of actinic in their photos. I would love to find any of those in the US Marvin. I have to stop myself now, because I am running out of room so I am on a search now for the nicest ones.
