I bought this LOSH frag recently on r2r for roughly 400$. Now that I see them in person, I'm not 100% sure they are LOSH. Left is a pretty accurate representation of what it looks like in my tank, and right is the seller's pictures.
What do you guys think? Could it be some morph of LOSH? Or a LOSH that's lost some of it's colors? It doesn't look at all like any of the LOSH I've seen in person. I've also attached a blue with orange gel filter picture as well.
Thanks in advance.

You just need an orange filter. I have some cheap reef lenses and I bet 100$ they’d look beautiful (even more than they do now) if you had an orange camera lense.
 
I have had high end Zoas ship badly and show up a little rough and discolored….my lsoh looked the same as yours on arrival, it’s looking better now…pic without filter or adulteration

Thanks for the replies guys.
The second picture is taken under OR3 strips and radions with an orange filter clip on lens. That's something that stood out to me - they don't have the artificial pop/color I'd normally get from orange filters.
I also totally get the different corals look different under different conditions. I don't expect my photos to look exactly like his, I'm just a bit surprised because I've seen a couple of LOSH in person, and the frag I have is much duller. I hope HairyTeeth is right, and they've just shipped badly and will color up eventually.
