Hey Mike, what are your thoughts on vendors using these gels? I believe many hobbyists and vendors are using deeper gel shades and blue lighting to give an artificial (enhanced) look to corals.

Well no one likes to feel like somebody's trying to get over on them.
I do believe that a coral needs to be seen in person and it really sucks when a vendor or someone goes overboard to try to make you believe the coral is better than it really is.

I think any seller (not just vendors) should disclose any filters used and preferably the lighting the coral is under. And really this refers to the high end stuff. Don't really care if its somebodies duncan or rastas, but anything thats $100 a polyp or sold by the 1/4" frag...you should be giving as much info as possible about that frag.
