Yeah, Its actually from an article that states look alikes are becomming more common in the hobby. Those are mariculture pieces from Bali. One of the original pieces with the blue tips came from reef raft. It may not be the ORIGINAL, but it is one of the first. There are quite a few knock offs out there being sold as RD. A couple of the local reefers have the real red dragon DKnuckles, BlayoJ. For your convenience, I have posted a link to the article.
