You are both wrong.
The Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition lets us see beyond the capabilities of our unaided eyes. Almost 2000 entries from 70 countries vied for recognition in the 37th annual contest, which celebrates photography through a microscope. Images two through 21 showcase the contest's winners in order, and are followed by a selection of other outstanding works. Scientists and photographers turned their attention on a wide range of subjects, both living and man-made, from lacewing larva to charged couple devices, sometimes magnifying them over 2000 times their original size.

Let me rephrase my image.... I don't think the coral pic is fake in anyway, in the sense that those spots were added or anything. Just when colors tend to 'jump' that hard off my screen, the pic was most likely 'cleaned up' in PS. As well, the pic was taken in RAW anyway, so of course it's going to get edited. Just seems like he slide the contrast bar a little further that I'd think.
Not just this one, but the colors on most of the pics are nuts.
