We originally thought it was a ricordia, but it has a skeleton like a bubble but short and rocky. We ended up getting the piece... We’re in our way home with it. More pictures to come once it’s in QT...
We think it’s this type of bubble

A very rare bubble coral | Melev's Reef
I purchased a coral that looked like an oversized ricordea, but was told it was a bubble coral. The best description I'd ever come close with was a 'pearl bubble coral' and it was grew nicely in my 280g for several years. Eventually it perished and I've never seen another one like it. The pinks...

Pearl Bubble coral | Melev's Reef
This is a coral from the Bubble family. It has been suggested it might be a Pearl Bubble Coral, but I've not seen one like this before. As you may have considered, it kind of looks like a Ricordea. This one has a mixture of pink and green bubbles. At night, it looks far different. Bubble corals...

Yep we’re in Seattle... we like doing the Bellevue circuit. Saltwater City, Sea King, Seattle Corals and Barrier Reef... we made a special trip out to Silverdale to The Shark Reef, Eric (owner) had a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse in hold for me sadly like most cleaners it didn’t make it. If you’re looking for fish I’d recommend him, he had a Kole that had some amazing color, best I’ve seen under white light.Swest find!

We do have a Valentini puffer inverts keep him busy so he’s stayed away from the corals for now. We haven’t had any issues yet (fingers crossed) so if we keep our CuC stocked I think we’ll be okay.
Where are you folks at?
