Colored Colt Coral?

[The Saltwater Kid]

Has anyone heard of a Colored Colt Coral? Check this out...Is this a scam where they have injected the coral with some sort of dye to make it look that colorful or is this legit?

Some are dyed however, I recently picked one up (PINK, i was very skeptical at first) a few weeks ago and it has done great in my tank. I purchased only after doing much reasearch on the computer and after an intense examination of the coral firsthand at the LFS. I would only feel comfortable if I was able to inspect that coral with my own eye before laying down any cash (unless they gurantee it against it being dyed). When legit however, they are an absolutlely beautiful, unique, and hard to find coral to have in your tank.

In my experience, when a soft coral like this is called "Colored _____" It usually should be read as "Died ______"

Now if it was a Pink Colt, etc it might be legit, but the Colored in the name always makes me nervous. With out being able to examine the coral in question closely in person, I would probably pass.

Glad the Cladellia is doing well Basset, I'm still fighting the urge to take home the second one!
