Gigs were stunning, Mag was incredible too but a little limp looking? Could be jealousy.

They're real. Unfortunately, LA/DD tend to over-saturate their photos so things appear larger than life. This is not to say that they do it on purpose, but depending on the camera they use and the lights the nem is under. without proper color correction, their specimens tend to look brighter and more colorful than they really are.

If you scroll in this forum you'll see a few threads about green gigs, and you'll get a sense of what they really look like -- stunning but not what appears to be a complete mass of nuclear neon green that appears in the DD photo. The gig in the photo is acclimating, and has shorter than normal tentacles. When gigs are in this state, their color appears more intense because the pigment is located on the tips of the tentacles. When comfortable, a gig's tentacles are typically about an inch long (but anywhere from 1/2" to 2") and the base end of the tentacles are usually brown. In other words, most gigs are brown with a color to them, not the other way around, the more stunning specimens having more colored pigment.

back on the nem from the start of thread. I know some people felt the colors were off but when googling around this is one of the first ones I came across and this is a photo in the wild. It's very similar given that it was taken under sunlight.
