If you see extremely bright yellow leathers (unless they specify that it's from Fiji), it's dyed. I've also seen a LFS sell purple & pink finger leathers & colts that are obviously dyed & have probably died already. When I asked about them, I was told that they only bring in what people want to buy. People need to be informed so they stop buying these dyed corals or the LFS has little incentive not to bring them in. Also, if you see some anemones that are supposed to be white but are a bright colour, then it may be dyed as well. I think Sebae anemones are the ones I saw.
