Did I mess up by buying an non BIGR Walt Disney?

Even wholesalers/importers are naming coral before retailers/vendors get them. Coral have become a niche traded commodity instead of captive animals. Reef tanks are a showcase of not ocean life, but a trophy of dollars to some. Imo, a Corvette is a much better way to go in that regard. Lol!

A good analogy with the corvette. Every corvette owner has a 1 of 1.

I recently acquired a Walt Disney coral and shared it in my local reefing community. However, someone commented that it was a mistake not to buy the BIGR version. Is that true? I believe the one I got is authentic (photo below). What do you all think?

Might just be too early to say. I have five different WD frags, one is Big R (from BSA) which is textbook colored, some are just bright green and yellow (non-lineage) and one that is similar to the high end ones like POTO WD.

They are wildly different in color but all beautiful in their own way.

Huge Error. Send it to me

If one is looking at a very rare or slow growing/hard to keep coral and especially interested in resale having lineage is very important, however WD has taken the hobby by storm and there are so many since it grows fast and does quite well I don’t think lineage is needed for WD anymore unless selling frags and saying they are specifically from him.

If you like it, it was not a mistake.

If you don’t like it, it was a mistake.

Wives are the same way.

I asked my wife about this. She said that she is not a mistake and that she has never made a mistake, so I'm not sure this statement holds true. Now, if ya'll will excuse me, I need to go ice my eye...
