In all fairness, I've received SPS frags from all over the country and the shape of a WYSIWYG piece doesn't change obviously, but the color can definitely change during shipping. Things like colored corallites or tips can wash out. I've had many pieces show up almost completely browned out (or dead white lol) in the same shipment as pieces that look like nothing ever happened - even shipments which contained doubles of the same piece! It's the nature of the SPS game.
The picture of that Monti has absolutely been adjusted - it wasn't just cropped. I usually have to do some adjusting to my own pics to try to get the color true to life, but my pictures are NEVER as good as the corals appear in person. Drives me bonkers.

I received an order from said supplier and I didn't necessarily have a problem with the order but I wasn't expecting WYSIWYG pieces. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention but I was expecting a frag of the coral in the photo but not the exact piece in the photo. I've always just figured that in most cases the frags you get aren't always part of the same system the mother colony is thriving in and may not be showing the best color yet. I expect them to eventually turn that color though if I'm doing my part. I was disappointed in the size of the frags I received especially for the price but I haven't seen the regular availability for these pieces in the west so I was willing to pay a bit more for them and wasn't bothered enough at the time to complain. I definitely agree that their pictures appear photoshopped, the spam is annoying, and they could definitely be a lot more transparent when it comes to answering questions and making people feel more comfortable about their product. I certainly wouldn't call them fellow hobbyists though. They are a retailer any way you skin it and an expensive one at that so make sure you know what you're getting into before ordering from them.

I think we should give them a chance to explain themselves and hopefully they will. I realize people have taken this thread and ran with it but I have done quite a bit of personal communication with these people during my order 4 months ago and they both seemed very helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. How they handle it from here on is up to them.

They won't show up here and explain themselves because here they can't delete the comments that they don't like. They only have something to say where they are in control and can sway the outcome of how they are perceived by deleting the negative comments.

Lol , and that was the point I was making earlier. They only want to talk about it where they feel safe and can control what posts stay and what posts get deleted. They have obviously been reading this thread and instead of coming here and defending themselves , they just sit it their cozy little Facebook page and gossip with each other. I would go there and chat about it , but as I said I was kicked for asking questions along with many others.
