Magenta Toadstool ?

[jwils27]

anyone ever had or seen one of these?

 

[darren24]

Hmmmm. Never seen one like that. Not making any accusations.

A bit suspicious looking, IMO. Especially at that price, considering it's *got* to be rare.

The slough-off at the base doesn't appear to be very magenta either.

 

[roland jacques]

Do you think people color them some how?

 

[jmaneyapanda]

Leathers are one of the corals that are still very frequntly dyed. Avoid it- it is unnatural and will surely be compromised.

 

[lorenk]

That's a pretty big dealer though...do you think they would dye their corals?

 

[saltwater junky]

im gonna get it maybe. saltwaterfish has done me right every time and i have spent 2000.00 with them to date.

 

[wolfie]

I do not think they dye their corals, but their supplier may had it dye or got it already dye.

 

[darren24]

Agree with Wolfie. I would at least ask for more pictures.

 

[roland jacques]

I was going to get it too, but it was sold out. I was going to call them and ask about the dyeing possabillity.

 

[kevin]

Sounds interesting. I have never heard of such a coral. Leathers can be dyed and, if they survive, the dye disapears. I think saltwaterfish.com is a reputable supplier... but I would be sceptekal

Cap Bay got some of those in stock on accident. They are dyed pink. The color will fade over time.
