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
Orange skirts, green mouths and a purple ring that only makes sense under blue. Utter Chaos is a Palythoa, so wear gloves: palytoxin is real and this is not the coral to frag over the kitchen sink. It spreads at a comfortable pace, a few polyps a season.
