It seems a lot of reefkeepers these days get excited over hyped corals very easily. I remember coming up in the hobby and people were held accountable for their pictures to look true to life. The corals that were hyped, had a good reason to be hyped and reefers understood why each coral was rare.
Now it seems like no one really knows why anything is priced high to begin with, and they just want the wow factor in their tank. There are tons of corals out there with huge price tags and these days too many people buy them trying to jump in and make some quick cash. Shoot, half of them have the same colors in them, how does that deserve a rare label? All these tenuis I can’t even tell apart. I remember people hyping the jd because of the crazy blue polyps, which makes sense, not many corals have them.
I have seen a few pics of mini colonies from people here that show pretty cool color on this coral. I would guess it’s a finicky piece so brown will be everyone’s first color.
