Guess the polyp color - LA Divers den

[Tennyson]

Hey guys,
So I caved and bought another black sun coral labeled 'black tubastraea metallic green'. She's a beaut, but I'm curious what the polyp color will be? Any thoughts? Will post once they come out, but this can take a few weeks of force feeding, assuming all goes well.

I just bought one today as well.
I already have three frags/colonies of T. micranthus and a tiny frag of T. diaphana.
I find them really easy to care for. Just feed them every other day. Definately a beautiful specimen so congratulations on that.

Greetings,
Flo

Thanks! I've noticed that T. micranthus are less forgiving than orange sun coral. If they get sick or are starving they take much longer to recover and extend, which might be why people struggle with them.

We need more posts on black tubastraea and sun coral in general. Feel free to share photos!

Also here's an update on the purchase under daylight and blues, the polyps are fluorescent green!! Black tubastraea behind it for comparison
