What you see is what ships
These photos are taken under actinic blue light, which is how the coral looks in a reef tank at night. Under full daylight the colors read warmer and less saturated. This exact piece is the one that ships to you, no substitutions.

About this piece
Green, flat clawed and the standard answer to bubble algae, which it pulls off the rock and eats. Keep it fed with nori: an emerald crab that runs out of algae starts looking at zoas and small snails. One per thirty gallons.
