Gold stem blue hammer

[coralcruze]

How do you reallyy know its common? Seen it in person, or photo of it that enhances or substantiates the sellers claim? No better than the bashers if you haven't. I do look towards peoples best side and do pay for that effort occasionally, but i do not think publicly trashing a guy is the propper way to treat people without real evidence. Buying top notch pictures of corals with perfect filtering or photo enhancement and never being able to replicate the "visual" i thought i purchased at a premium does bother me. Give this dude the benefit that he sees something in front of him that he did not represent in poor photography. I would almost buy this coral to stop this thread. It is shameful.

unsure how long you have been in the hobby but i have been in for 22 years. i still dont claim to know everything but what I stated was based on the fact it looks awefully similar to the attached pic. and I wasnt the one bashing... actually read my post.

Good topic for the Lounge, maybe take the argument there.

I'm 60+, started when i was 12. You do the math. I have more experience dealing with people than corals. You may know more about hammers than I. However, I think the guy deserves a fair shake, and don't see him getting one here. Photos of corals, yours or anyones don't always tell the true story. Those better at photography, can net more than those awesome at husbandry. This thread should closed. No longer belonging to the seller and no longer constructive. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but just think how this seller feels. I'm out.

Above random post was responding to coralcruze. And yes, should be taken up at lounge or pm. Sorry all.

And that’s at reefapoolza. I would expect to find deals at a venue of that magnitude.

Reefapalooza has a larger reach than the internet?

Lucky for me, I’m terrible at both of those things!

Agreed.
Criticism is one thing, and is good, especially in an open public forum. Telling someone they are trying to rip people off is an insult. Period.
