    Well, a guy that sells coral from his home reef business here in my area had a large dragon soul favia for sale, i've asked for photos and he sent me this. It looks 100% dead to me, but he says i am wrong.  Have i lost my marbles?

    I would send that picture back to him and make sure he sent you the right pic. If he thinks that is alive he needs to get out of the hobby. That not only looks dead it is DEAD, very DEAD!!

    Yup... i didnt wanna be a jerk to him, so i asked him if it was "healthy" he emailed back, "yes, it is" I said "are you sure that isnt it's skeleton?" "No, it's fine, my Iphone takes bad photos." I said "Isn't it odd that the crabs are walking on top of it like that? So this coral is fine?" "Yes, and its $50"
    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I must be losing my mind!
    And i love dumb blond jokes as much as the next brunette  =)
