What's with all the top down pictures?

[Reefer Rob]

All the adds for corals for sale that show top down pictures. You guys must spend a lot of time viewing your tank from above... I can't remember the last time I did.

Sure the corals look great from above, but that doesn't give me any idea what the coral is going to look like when put it in my tank and view it like I usually do, sitting in front sipping on a beverage.

Especially "venders" looking to ship their corals nationally. Right now I'm in coral acquisition mode with my new tank, but I find it difficult to pay to ship corals across the country based on such unrealistic photographs. I honestly think you'd have more sales with photos that show what the coral will look like. At least I'd be more tempted to buy
