MX photo is to fake. People are going to order a fish thinking it has all these crazy colors, then it arrives and they have a normal colored anthias. the photo is to misleading since its been photoshopped or altered in another digital program. Just my .02 cents.

You are absolutely wrong, Elite. This particular photo is a very good representation of this fish. If you see a healthy squarespot, you will see the many amazing colors they have. In fact, there are a few colors on the fins and tail that I was dissapointed that I could not capture.

IMO, this is how this fish may look at the 200 foot depth it normally lives at, but these colors are known to fade very quickly under aquarium lighting

but those colors are very bright, as are the colors on other fish you have photographed...kinda looks like the color has been enhanced a little.

the color on the fish has been enhanced. I KNOW this for a fact. I am 110% sure of that. Looks cool but I will bet it doesnt look like any you will see in any fish store. Looks like a good photo dont get me wrong there BUT its not natural.

Guess the real photo isnt going to be used? I would be pissed if I bought this species and my fish didnt look anything close to this photo.
