I don't know much about scroll corals. The few I've seen have either been purple bodied with yellow corallites, or a solid color like blue, green, or yellow. I ran across this frag from Austin Aqua Farms and can't seem to find a picture of a colony that is yellow-bodied with purple corallites. Is this color combo common or is it mislabeled?

I am not saying a Turbinaria with the colors depicted above doesn't exist, but I've never seen one with those colors. I also don't have any experience with this particular vendor. Are Austin Aqua Farms' pictures generally representative of their coral, folks?

They are a respected vendor, and from my experience they don't go to great lengths to post process photos. Most of their photos appear to be under mostly whites.
