Just scrolling through SexyCorals website looking for some choice zoas when I find a picture I took of some of my Chong Bongs back in September. They are calling them Mohawks. Here is my thread from September.

I'm not mad about it. Maybe they could hook a brother up with a Red Hornet?:wink:

That sucks that they didn't ask you to use the pic...

But they look like Mohawks aren't Chong Bongs a little more pink...Could be the lighting very nice regardless..

If you ask them to remove it they will. They used Gadgets My Miami pic without asking him and he had them take it down.

You're a better man then me Mark. I would be pretty PO'd if someone used my pictures without permission. It's just not right. Like your avatar says "Just be honest".

a company has enough money to hire a photographer to come in and take pics and they would prolly be just as nice if not nicer in some cases..."i don't know some of you are pretty slick with cams" lol... theres no need for that imo....

It's not so sexy when you "borrow" other peoples pics and use them as your own!!!!! Borrow is the nice word I'll use.

Wow...after looking at their site, it seems like I've seen a lot of those pictures in threads or other vendor sites. Are their corals not nice enough to show what we're really getting? Anybody have experience ordering from them?

Hey just pm Mike and he will take care of the situation.
I know that when he first started his site he was super eager into getting it up and used pictures he found online, but he will take care of it ASAP if you ask him.
He might even give you a super sexy deal if you let him use the pic haha.
