is there any kind of database for all the wwc signature pieces. Just got a sun god, and there are very little references I can find.

There is no database. These are tricky, even for named pieces.
WWC has some staple pieces that are well known, usually hold a nice price and are sought after.
Then, then have a bunch that they import, name, turn and burn. Most of these never end up being anything and most of the time are forgotten in past reefing lore. This can happen because they are blah, or just not interest in them after a while or people just don't want to pay the price. Mostly is because the photos and hype not realistic and they fade over time.
I am not sure which one of these that Sun God is, but I have never heard of it and I search for corals a lot and for a long time. I wish that I could offer more, so free bump.

I guess it’s one of the not so popular ones, but I also have the pink panther tenuis from them, which as of recently has picked up popularity and fetched a pretty penny. The acro database promised by so many has never happened

I don’t know of any data base. Really the only thing you can do is use google and see what pics pop up.
The Sun god is a really nice coral though. It’s the one I use for my profile pic.

law office aquariums. He is legit as they come, and their corals are always stellar.

I have heard of him. I am not a fan of how he sells corals with pics under all blues with an orange filter. To me it’s pretty deceiving.
I got mine from Pirates reef corals.

I bought it in person a show we just had in socal. I know he sells through FB, but I do not have FB, so don't know what his pics look like, but isn't that what most people do? If not that, doctor them somewhat? WWC shots a lot of their corals in all blues and edits them, not to mention vivid.

Yes I agree and that’s why I only buy from vendors who share accurate honest pics. If people are willing to deceive people through pics just to sell corals then what else would they be willing to do?
There are lots of vendors still around who share accurate pics and those are the ones people should support.
I’m sorry for taking your thread way off track.

Only speaking of the LOA, which I know them personally, they simply do not know how to take pics and are doing the best they can with that. He I can guarantee has no intention on deceiving.
No worries. on the deviation. I understand what you are saying. I agree with there being a lot of shady vendors, Corn Bread is a great example. DK how he is still in business and able to sell for what he does. Aqua SD is also a chop shop. There are many bad characters in this hobby, but LOA is not one of them.

I wish there was a database for WWC . Most of their ebay corals are never heard of especially the acroporas.
However, they surely do have amazing stuffs especially their old stuff like WWC Somewhere Over The Rainbow(SOTR). .
If you are looking for a smaller database , I know reefs.com has one :- https://reefs.com/coral/

will double check and report back.
The only other tip is you're zooming in too much, makes it hard for the camera to focus

I know, ill work on making a submersible tube or something.The only other tip is you're zooming in too much, makes it hard for the camera to focus
Did you see mine? A piece of PVC and acrylic glued to the bottom, a few drilled holes at the top and a couple zip ties. Ghetto rigged like a boss.

yes, you walked me through it prior to buying the camera. Its pretty much what I meant what I was going to do, but I may use glass instead of acrylic.
