All those corals, I'd probably leave without a kidney, arm, foot etc, anything they would take for corals.

def shop the angels have a whiteish edge around them and doesn't look as well blended, the chromis on the other hand looks legit to me.
edges are to sharp/jagged like someone cut them and you can see tiny bit of jpeg compression that and resized the one, especially the ones layered on top of each other needed to blur and soften edges into the background to make it seem little realistic

If you take out all the low color pastel ones there is one or two nice looking ones....

Can someone tell?

No apparently they just do keep them in the tank. Not photoshopped at all. This is the real deal. I have heard about it for a while now but only finally seeing pics because they are finally open to the public.

Someone asked about the angels in the thread. Not sure what the answer was though.

Always has to be someone...:doh:

I was going to ask your experience with photoshop but then realized if you had any, you would understand where the halos/artifacts come from and it has nothing to do with the pics being altered.
