agreed, not a coral that historically holds great colour in our tanks, tempting in the store though!

Been through 3 mari-cultured colonies myself over the years and I have about 4 brown frags to show for it.

Bonsai valida is what snappy has. Very very nice coral.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I used to have a small colony of the first one. Turns deep purple with neon green polyps. Was my favorite coral in my sps tank. But like all wild stuff i had horrible luck, it was one of 3 out of 10 that actually survived
