I saw some scarlet red NPS (colt or tree or something else, not good at their ID) @ Ng couple place (next to Ah Beng) yesterday. Colour is unbelievable, almost like dyed. Maybe they are dyed....

i think u refering to chilli coral?

1st pic is extended, 2nd pic was going to extend...

i dont think the Ng couple sells dye corals other than the usual yellow goniopora...

There were 2 cloves left so I sapu them. Less than 2 red notes each. The chilli coral was that red but there were a few of those bumps or polyp, very few, like sparsely few. Now beginning to regret not getting them.

Not the Chilli coral as per your photo. more of tree, carnation or colt.

Almost like this but is more cherry red. The colour looked quite unnatural to me

Basically I only know two species that is impossible to keep alive...

Scleronepthyea and the Blueberry Gorgonian... The rest I have no experience yet...

the common pink n pinkish red Scleronepthyea are not tht bad...

the orange one u told me abt at AM... was really diff based on ah beng n AM stock health..

the bigger the size seems to be having more issues..
