too much contrast--and color has been intensified (check out the background-always a giveaway)? But maybe not (could be the lighting)--hope this is what your coral looks like when you get it today. Pls post pics when it is acclimated.

Dont get me wrong i want a frag ;) u can tell its been photo shoped by the contrast and the fact there are no shadows on the piece anywhere, and it looks flat . But it is def a nice piece

Very nice ReefMonger....even though it doesn't look quite like it did in the pic from the seller, still a killer looking coral. Congrats on the addition. :)

Really nice echino!

I have a hunch that the GE may be holdin it's colors at bay. I know it did with alot of my stuff, especially with my echinophyllia. Consider trying a aquablue+ when your GE needs swappin, I think you may be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing. Mind sharing where you got it from?

The colors are more orange than my pic shows. I didnt do any white balancing or anything. Ill see what a flash photo looks like

Try to do some white balancing. That is used to make the photo look like what you see the coral as. Thatys not bad however making a coral look better in a photo than it really does is a bad thing

They clearly did more than white balance. that Echino is still amazing tho, thanks for sharing!
