Yea their pics are maybe photoshopped a bit. I am happy with my recent order from them, but there are two mushrooms that I got that don’t look anything like the pics on their site. I questioned it and was told they use Philzon lighting. I’m not familiar with that lighting.

Looks like a Chinese black box
 
That LTA is 100% photoshopped. First pic is from Google and likely what that $1900 nem is going to look like under normal lighting

And just for fun, the ULTRA RARE "Aurelius sol" LTA. It's a bargain at $600 right?

Idk, seems pretty pricey for a green LTA

Just to be clear, I've ordered from CA in the past and was happy with my purchase. I don't want to single them out. This is a hobby wide issue, both from large businesses and individual sellers, and it needs to stop.
 
Is the substrate not a dead giveaway…it is Glowing blue plastic, it should be white.
Not necessarily, the LFS that I moonlight at has pink, purple, blue, green, red, and black plastic baskets that we use to separate livestock.

Is this Unicorn Rainbow ultra longjohnsilver swashbuckling anemone still available? I just found a Brinks Truck that lost its load and I’m eager to swap cargo on the down low and this anemone will be untraceable and easy to flip.

This one sold. Minimum price was two brinks trucks and there was a line
 
I do wonder when there will be a lawsuit over false advertising. Because this is what is going on with a lot of coral vendors.

Unfortunately, a "Sierra Mar" LTA is the vendor's way of saying "super bleached". Most LTAs go blue when they bleach, so when it colors back up It'll probably be pink or purple.

It's not acaully blue just how the photoshop looks. It's git more of white tips and green going up to that.
Mine isn't bleached.
