How does everyone feel about how corals are photographed in the hobby?
I personally keep my tank looking more white than I see in the LFS. Online sales and pictures always are incredibly heavy on the blue spectrum. Now I am seeing more and more black backgrounds with more and more foreground lighting.
I understand that people want to really see the colors when they buy, but to what extent? The coral will not look the same in the tank with different backgrounds and drowning in blue light.
For these reasons I only buy coral in person. I wish pictures didn't alway feel so inflated in our hobby.
