WYSIWYG — the coral pictured is the exact specimen you receive, not a stock photo. Quantity one.
Dark purple body with a highly fluorescent green rim and mouth area.

Care
Prefers to sit on soft sand rather than rock, where the fleshy tissue can expand without abrasion. Gentle flow only. Responds strongly to weekly target feeding.
Acclimation
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes to equalise temperature, then drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes before placing. Start the coral low in the tank and move it up over a week or two if it wants more light. A freshwater or iodine dip before it goes in is cheap insurance against hitchhikers.
Photographed under blue/actinic aquarium lighting, which is how most reef tanks are viewed. Colours will look different under white light.
