I know...The thing that makes me think there is no photochop is that everything around it looks like it should, while the blue millie is off the chart.

Don't want to rain on your parade, and I am not saying it is or it isn't, but it is quite easy in PS to mask out surounding entities and selectively adjust color contrast and saturation ;).

Yup it is very easy. There are even plugins that will let you do that with out masking.

Mine are not SPS so much, but I have had success with LPS corals. Sorry for the quality of the picture , but I am not a great photographer and I just had this picture kicking around. It has been mentioned in this thread that people like corals that have grown large over time, and not just bought corals placed together to be TOTM quality.

The Hammer and Turbinaria on the left are both between 12-14 inches across. The Hammer was started from a small three head frag. The Favia on the right is about 10 inches across and is the size of my wife's head. The Yellow Scroll coral in the middle right was started as two small quarter inch pieces glued to a rock and it is now 7-8 inches. The Pink Pocillipora just above the Turbinaria seeded itself onto a dead piece of acro that was in a corner. I brought it out because it was quite brown and it has colored up nicely and grown to 8-9 inches.

Your tank is gorgeous! It is very natural looking and kind of how I've always pictured mine looking when I get it the way I want it. Very nice.

Wow, you're in Ontario and YOU know about the Monti at Eco Reef? I don't have a pic of it, but I just was watching a video 5min ago, and the Monti (about 30% of it, just to give you an idea of the size) is in the background:
