I'm confused.. are you thinking the seller is being shady?

Facebook doesn't allow the selling of "live" animals so you either have to put "Fake" or in this case "plastic" decorations which is why its listed that way.

I don't think they were trying to get over on anyone just getting by the FB guidelines.

yeah this is it right here. both corals from a guy advertising as fake corals. its to circumvent fb marketplace rules.
 
Facebook marketplace did not allow live animal for sale , even most of coral are listed as fake decoration

spoke to this guy about berghia nudi's, seems real

Interesting. I was ignorant of this. Cool info.

On a separate note, I do have to defend some of the other ‘shadier’ sellers. I purchased a plastic reproduction of the Great Wall 8 years ago, placed it on the front lawn, and have managed, in that time, to avoid any and all Mongol attacks on the house.
