Why do vendors use such heavy blues in their pictures? What are the chances you get the coral that looks exactly like it did in the pics.

Silly Kathy. Vendors use heavy blues because they run heavy blue lighting. It's hard to filter that out for an accurate representation of what the coral will look like in your tank since they're likely running almost pure blue in the "farm" and we're running closer to 14,000K typically.
Depending on the vendor though, they can get very close to what it will look like in your tank, most just don't take the time to work the picture or if they do, they make it too fake.

They take pics in heavy blue to highlight colors, then crank up saturation on the photos to amplify the colors.
There are a few vendors who show both blue and full spectrum photos of their frags. I wish more would so you can get a clearer idea of what you will really be receiving.
