Was looking for a picture of a BF to show someone, but saw this picture of an awesome colored Pectina.

Why haven't we seen one with this crazy of coloration yet in the hobby?

Wow that's some great spot lighting combined with some post photo processing. I would say that coral is brown, green, and blue. Pretty common coloration in pectina ime. What's unique about that coral to me is the shape.
 
It might already be in the hobby, we just dont know:ooh:

ps. I do not have one if anyone has that thought..I wish I did tho

Considering Poppe Images does not sell anything (corals or pictures) and that they are a biology reference site, I seriously doubt they put much time into tweaking the colors.
 
More of the same, but different colonies:

Those are not the best colored one at this point...Ive seen Purple,and the Space Invador!lol
 
actually one of our LFS has one that is similar to that but i wasnt impressed by it,i think he wanted something like $200 for it and it was probably 5-6" diameter.the owner pointed it out to me while looking at a sweet chalice he had and i was like"mehhhh doesnt do it for me"i thought it was *****.
