Turbinaria colors

[Sierra_Bravo]

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?

No idea but I would buy it, lovely colour unless the picture is doctored.

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?

It's just a purple polyp/green base turbinaria. Not too uncommon.

I did, as a matter of fact!

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.

Just found this on Live Aquaria. Could very well be the same thing.
