I always wonder when you see the lists from the supplier. I mean you can pick out ultra acans and those rare master scolys (and other rare colour morphs), but at what point does a warpaint or bleeding apple become an ultra grade?

I was thinking the same thing as you...the more symmetry of the pattern the better the grade.

nice photo by the way, it looks awesome.

Its subjecting based on that supplier, but they are all pretty similar in grading honestly.

Green would be 1 price, green with a few strikes of orange may be a reg grade, and the one pictured would be an ultra.
Its the in between parts that get a bit hazy and are subjective to the diver.

Finally gave up and used my desktop computer. First pic is my acan collection. Second is one of my scolys eating and third is a pic of my two scolys. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.
