That sounds far too negative, but it describes quite well what we are talking about here. Beginner animals, zoas, soft corals and other fast-growing species such as seriatopores and montipores are traded somewhat more cheaply than their more demanding or slower-growing conspecifics. Photographing each animal individually and offering it as a WYSIWYG coral would unnecessarily increase the effort and also the price. That's why you can view and order typical cuttings of the corals here. You won't get the exact animal from the photo, but a comparable one.
As breeding is a natural system in which fluctuations in temperature, light and nutrient levels can occur, this can also have an effect on the animals. This means that the coloration of the corals you order from this category may differ slightly from the pictures.”
