Where can I find a pink or orange toadstool leather?

Does anyone know where I can find a pink or orange toadstool leather coral? I saw the picture below on BulkReefSupply's Facebook page.

never seen one, but I would like one.

I've never seen a pink or orange toadstool, only the beige and green. Maybe ask BRS on their FB page....

Absolutely beautiful, if that's not dyed I would love to own one.

I didn't know corals could be dyed. But if I came across an aquacultured one, I think I would still purchase it.

Photoshop?
I have never seen a leather with anything close to that color.
Obviously I haven't seen every coral in the world, but it doesn't look right for a leather.

IMO...absolutely dyed...aquacultured has nothing to do with it...most of these are dyed by the shippers just before shipping... the color will start to fade within weeks ... I'm not aware of any long term survival.

The stuff people do to make cash shouldnt surprise me but it does...

Sorry dude, but that one statement makes you part of the problem. :debi:

^ I'd guess this.

Possibly not even intentional either. The blenny was the focus of the picture, rather then the toadstool. So someone could have adjusted the color balance to make the blenny's colors show better and turned the toadstool pinkish.


Otherwise looks like a standard beige toadstool.

Exactly what I was going to say.

While this is 4 years old, figured I'd still reply since I just discovered this thread.

This is my photograph I entered into the BRS contest and it is 100% not photoshopped. The coral was a toadstool leather coral from Liveaquaria and not dyed. The coloration is pink, but tank lighting helped to enhance the vibrancy.

How long have you had it?

Did you get it off of diver's den?

 

[CrayolaViolence]

I sure hope so cause I just bought a pink one off of there...

I recently bought a yellow one.

lets see some updated pics of these pink leathers!

I have no way to take a picture of it pink because my lights turn everything super blue. FWIW under my lighting, it's more of a mauve color. Maybe closer to a Kenya tree pink? The tiny polyps on it are quite pretty though, each one looks like a tiny flower.

If I can get some better photo lighting I'll take one.
