Over on eBay on page 13 and 14 there are some beautiful color soft corals. I am having a hard time believing that these corals are not dyed. The seller claims that the colors are 100 percent true. So if anybody's wants to take a look and tell me what you think it would be greatly appreciated.
A little help please.

You're right about the pictures I never saw clown with a pink head.
This really irritates me to know end. Getting healthy specimens can be a pain to start with and now you have to worry about people scaming you. I would you go about reporting this individual to ebay without any hard physical proof?

here is the response that I got.
We never use photoshop or dress up our pics. In any way as stated in the auction guarantee.
As stated in the auction all corals are kept under vho lighting and all pictures are taken under vho all corals grown and kept under vho and get more pink just like corals grown under 20 K. metal halide will turn deeper blues purples exc.
The clowns knows is the same color as the coral because it is a tomato clown and their noses are pink. So that just goes to prove that the toadstool is pink after all.

It is most likely dyed.
I hate to say I fell for a leather finger (sinularia) coral at my LFS that the guy says is unique and non dyed. It was neon pink like that as well. Well I brought the coral home and thought that it was strange that the bag of water that the coral was in was a slight pink color. I proceded to drip acclimate the coral in a bucket (bucket water was pink also) and put it into the refugium. I left it alone for a couple of days and started to notice that the coral was fallling apart, saw small pieces around it here and there. I decided to get it out quick. Good thing I turned off the return from fuge to main tank, cause the thing melted away (like bread sittin in water) and had a horrible fowl smell. I had to drain my fuge of water and get that thing out.
Then not so long ago I read an article about corals being dyed to disguise corals in poor health, faded colors, tissue damage, etc. I can't remember where I read it or what the article is called.
