It is when people use photos to their gain or advatage is when things go south. FWIW, another thing what is up to interpretation is calling a coral (or anything) classic. And I am shocked that you can determine that this coral is a A. clathrata from not clearly seeing the coralite structure. In fact, I can guarantee that it is not a clathrata. It has much different coralite formation and structure. What about the other 1,000,000 reefers around the world ;)

Whether you drown the coral in actinic light, or tweak your camera settings to get a desired effect before you snap the pic, digital imaging is still an 'interpretation' of the coral's appearance. Using photo editing software is just another step in the interpretation process. BTW, 99 reefers would agree that your coral is not a sarmentosa, much closer to an A. clathrata, the classic red table acro. FWIW, corals in aquaria don’t look anything like their wild counterparts.
