Tony really hit the nail on the head here.
As we are a wholesaler, based on the shear volume of corals that come through our door its would just take an insane additional amount of time for us to ID each and every piece.
The last group of pics I loaded into our gallery was about 120 pictures and this accounted for just a small fraction of the pieces we brought in last week.
And just to get this done I came in on Sat morning and ended up being at the shop until around 2 am just taking pics then time to develop and crop them and so on.
But as a consumer, I do also understand 100% where you guys are coming from too, its hard to ask for a piece just from the pic.
So I will try and post some names for you guys when we do have the time to help you ID them and make life easier for ordering them.
If i dont have a chance to post a name though here is the best way to ask for a piece.
look at pics and find your "i gotta have it!" piece.
shouldnt be too hard
right click on the piece
select "copy image address"
(well thats what it says on a mac anyways...)
send me an email or pm
right click
paste
and i sound her the url for the image
then if its doesnt have a name, or i dont know it i can see the exact piece you are looking for.
I can also let you know if there is a similar piece we have that you may be interested in
or if we have that exact piece.
And most importantly we can arrange for it to come with the livestock order to your nearest dealer.
