no,no,no, they say, this is the neon pink sub-species....very rare and expensive. Of course, they're always the first pieces to sell!!
Yeah I'm really happy to see LFS owners discouraging this practice. I made the mistake of not fully researching a Colt coral purchase and mistakenly bought a "special yellow colt coral" from a LFS here in Victoria. I went as far as going back to the store a few times to let them know the colour had disappeared, that I was sure it had been dyed etc.. and they stood firm that they had sold me a legitimate yellow colt.

It's unfortunate that the aquatics business is the way it is here in Victoria..
