Really a yuma?

Seems photoshopped to the extreme, what you think?

I don't think it's PS more like really strong actinics.....I wouldn't get that yuma. Looks like it was a fragged and healed but looking at the mouth it looks a little stressed.....I wouldn't trust it....JMHO

I saw that last night actually. I also don't think it's photoshopped -- just a combo of heavy actinic lighting and being partially "bleached" from being a baby still. I wouldn't trust its survival either.

It says it was taken under four 250 watt, 14000k metal halides and was unaltered, but it sure doesn't look like it to me.

There are NO LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEES!

That part is what makes me not trust this seller.

too much acintic lighting, the green bumps look blue in the pic

It doesn't look like an R. yuma to me. It resembles those "Mini Carpet Anemones" more.

I've dealt with the seller on numerous occasion in the past, but mostly just zoa's and such LPS's.

Was looking at yuma's and just seems the photo off, but can be right isnt listing the atnics behind perhaps. Did strike me as a type of anemone at first glance as well Travis, hmmm.

It's a yuma I have seen that kinda morph before, with the lighting being ridiculously blue and the yuma being unhealthy it will not look as good as it should. One of the signs to me as well is the sunken mouth and the area around the mouth being sunken......I would say this thing is going to die about a week after it arrives......JMHO....

I think its a yuma, just not fully developed yet. It's listed as .5" x .5", which is really small for a yuma.

it looks like a baby yuma that shrunk. and everyone knows that when a yuma shrinks, the color intensifies. I have a green yuma that when it shrinks it looks kinda tie died, boy i wish it looked like that al the time

looks pretty...

 

[kiknchikn]

Yeah I've been admiring that one!

 

[Azurel]

That is the best one he has.....Very nice indeed.

Seems like all the best rics for sale on eBay are in Cali and way too far to safely ship here.

If you sign up with fedex it cuts cost pretty well. fedex overnight usually saves $15 for us

 

[kiknchikn]

I'll have to look into that... thanks

Yeah, it's an anemone and seriously photoshopped. and you definitely shouldn't buy it.
