I saw a blue leather at LFS awhile ago.I didn't buy it thinking it was dyed.Now I see a blue leather online for sale.I think its a type of toadstool. Do they come in blue? true blue?
 
I have not seen a dyed coral in a very long time. It also used to be mainly anemones especially malu and crispas.

Did they have it under lots blue lighting?

I was just at the LFS and they lit their tanks with 100 percent blue and made some corals look fake.
I had to turn up the whites on their tanks just to see the real color.

My girlfriend is hey look at these corals, I turned up the whites and she goes that coral is not even red.
 
No, They had lights probably 50/50.The leather on line looks blue around the edge and on the nubs or branch's and the center looks blue/green. Thats the flesh only,no polyps are out in the picture to tell what color they are.
