There's always something new coming on the market that a person colored up.
This is why my Walt Disney will be next to this bad boy:
Can never go wrong with an OG

Yea. That was definitely not around 10 to 15 years ago. Pretty cool!
Seems taking pictures of corals have not changed much by the sellers. The photos barely look real. Wish I could see them in some "normal lighting conditions that one might imagine would be outdoor daylight".

No I didn't bought it like a WD, and I'm not saying that it is, but after I look to the photo above I ask if my frag isn´t it one WD.
A photo only with the RB LED

Definitively no.

Walt Disney is a rainbow acro, it has 4 colors in it (purple, pink, yellow, green). If you look at pictures online you'll see how colorful these pieces can get, which is one of the reasons I went for this piece.

Where is Walt lol.
Just added a very small piece. Let's see what happens in a few months.

Does it grow pretty fast Joe? And where do you have it placed in the tank?
It took a while to get started but now it grows pretty fast. I have it about 400-420 par under t5's in the middle of my tank with really high flow.
Had mine since March. The colors you see on the Internet are achieved with photographing under 100% blues using gel filters and a talented photographer. Here is mine and realistic colors. Just a typical SPS that was hyped up with crazy photographing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57OQ_h4Ar6s&app=desktop it's the first SPS in the video.

I don't know about yours, but when I look at mine under 17k lighting, I see pink and purple tips with extremely bright yellow polyps (posted this picture a few days ago).
Just because it's under all blues, doesn't mean it's not actually that color. All corals look better under blues, this one just happens to look extra good.

I wouldnt say that the "hype" is all based on someones photography skills and not the actual coral itslef.
I have seen many examples of WD that are brilliant in person that sometimes even looked more vibrant than the "photoshopped" pics we see online. I personally think that orange passion is a more desirable acro and my little frag has tons of orange-red polys with blue/green/yellow all over the base. It looks just as good as any example you see online.

Agreed:
I think some use these filters.:

This allows you to turn up the blue so corals fluoresce much more but adds bask in the reds so it does not looks so blue. They also increase contrast.
There is a whole line of these types of underwater filters.

Technically by doing this they can claim it is the actual colors and it is not photo-shopped.
I have seen photos of corals done this way and wow.
