These were medium red when we bought them. We put some in the seahorse tank and some in the reef. The ones in the reef when very pale and the ones in the reef went vibrant red. That is not a photoshopped color. I'm not exactly sure why but the water conditions are actually better in the reef than the
SH tank.
The second batch I got were medium red as well except they did not get bright red like the last batch.
