I completely agree. That is not a normal color - it is dyed. That is an unfortunately common practice with leathers, pagoda cup corals, sebae anemones, and a few others.
Unbelievable, but very true.

Basically, they were mentioned above. Uniform "bright" almost "too good to be true" coloration like that. I am sorry to say that is just a "whoa!" not normal color. I would question any really bright coral - often bright yellow or pink.
In fact, the coral almost looks bleached...and then dyed like an Easter egg if you really look at it.
There is not a lot of hype about it now, but not too long ago this was partly the "in" rage, and partly the outrage in the hobby.

Good for you caleigh, best of luck with your leather. As I stated before, I've never heard of such a thing, and I hope that yours fares well.

I am so glad youtried to take it back, maybe this dude will stop selling them. I do not believe he didn't know it was dyed i hes owner or manager. And if he didn't, he needs to tell his distributor to stop sending them cause its killing corals, plus deceiving customers. i am glad you aren't going to shop there anymore, enough people do that, and he might stop selling them. I give a
to my lfs store for refusing to pay/sell them in his store. Please let us know of your leathers progress.
