i dropped $700 on what I thought was a blue tipped orange torch and received what looks like a dragon soul torch. The vendor is doing the right thing and taking it back. They claim my t5 lighting drastically change the color of the torch even though you can see my orange acans right next to it. My picture is true colors no photo shopping here. Also I’ve been in the hobby for like 10 years and I’m not some newb out complaining just getting your guys honest opinion. Here is the vendors wysiwyg picture and here’s my picture today when I received it. What do you think?

Thanks for your input guys. I found another picture of what I believe came from the same colony because it was Friday night and sold instantly and that’s why when I saw the second one pop up on the 10 pm live sale Sunday night I jumped on it. TSA even told me on the phone they have never seen a blue tipped orange torch? I’ve seen cornbred and extreme corals sell true orange torches so not sure what they are talking about. Anyways I feel bad esp because I have to pay return shipping if I want a refund otherwise it’s store credit with 20% restocking fee on a $700 coral! and that’s only if the torch arrives back to them alive with no carrier delays...here’s the other “orange” torch they had for sale Friday night

I just hate getting taken advantage of...I’m willing to spend money on high end coral as long as it is what you represent it is. I’m a supporter of TSA and I own mostly all their signature acro’s but this just sucks....
 
Not personally but I’ve seen pictures from people who have bought from them
And they are what I expected them to be...

That’s the only way I could describe because the tentacles are gold and purple and that’s usually what I see with dragon souls however this def isn’t a blue tipped orange torch...
