i saw this acan for sale on ebay today. it still has 8 hours to go with a bid up to $108.00. DOES THIS LOOK REAL OR PHOTOSHOPPED? if it's the real deal i think it's a pretty amazing piece.

It's photoshopped...I think the term "this coral may look different under different lighting" is sometimes an excuse for photoshopping and then when someone calls them on it they say the above *shakes head*

i dont know-there is a lot of corals out there-and dont get me wrong, it is more than possible he did photoshop, but I have seen some acans that would blow your mind from japan. It's a big ocean. I dont really see a point in jumping on someone for photoshop just because somthing looks better than whats in the tank you look at everyday-just my two cents.

That one is a mystery to me, RedYuma is a reputable seller. I can't imagine him altering his photo's but who know's?

WAAAAAAAY photoshoped, and a very poor job i might add. sure it may have those colors, but no way they are that bright. the image quality is very poor which usually happens when you over do the saturation.
