Can't agree more
Some people who edit photos will admit but only when asked. Then it is followed by something like I was restoring it to how it actually looks or saturating it a little to compensate for the LEDs.
If there was a rule about it people who don't oblige will face what ever reproductions there are. While there is no disclaimer rule they are doing nothing wrong.

Unfortunately, cameras do not see the world, especially the underwater world the same way your eyes do. Human eyes are still better than today's cameras. Eyes can compensate for color temperature and can see very high exposure value, about 20 stops, compared to about 9-10 stops by digital cameras. I take tank photographs with a $2500 camera and a $600 lens. Yes, I do edit/process my images in camera raw to show them as close as possible to what the human eye would see. If there is anything wrong with this, please tell me what. This is being done since the beginning of photography.
Can you show a before and after of some of your works? If the coral looks more colorful in the photo then real life, maybe due to lighting or a camera filter do you edit it to make the coral look less colorful? Like I said before I don't think it being a dishonest person rookie07 said people who do it are dishonest.
Sometime the enhanced photos make the photo look more different then the non enhanced photo. That is a major issue.

Just 1 I took a couple of days ago. Since the camera was set to AWB the color temperature was changed in camera RAW to 39000K. Slight contrast and highlights correction. no saturation or any other color correction sliders touched. If you stand in front of my tank you would see the "after" look of the blasto. I didn't use any gel filter for the photo although I could have. Camera in manual exposure.

Ok I take all my pics with my Iphone 5,
This is an IPhone 5 pic with my regular tank lighting (Evergrow D120s)
This is the same coral, same lighting, 4 minutes later with a orange lens held in front of the phone
If I had to choose one that actually represented the coral I had,
I would choose the one with a filter in front of it. If anything, it would be dishonest to post the pic without the filter because the buyer has no idea how different the coral actually looks from that.

I couldn't find the red filter I used yesterday that allowed me to keep the blue surrounding the coral however I did have many other filters on hand thAt show the same effect

I just tried a bunch of my snowboarding lenses. I used orange, pink, silver(not suppose to affect the light), and nothing. I just took one picture with each no retakes. So a couple are fuzzy. I think the no lens picture looks most similar to how I see it.

My tank always has very heavy actinics, the LEDs are at 100% blue and 35% white, I use the orange and red filters to help wash out the blue and focus on the coral
