Of course, its the frag tree by thrive aquatics. I got mine off amazon, but looks like you can find them online at other places as well.

I call dibs when fragging. Unless I find it before then

Ohmyshubba. That's a. Nice piece. What family is it in?

MikeyB · Sep 11, 2014

Wow that's killer. Almost looks magenta and a blue base too?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I got this about 4 years from wet thumb frags as their hellfire. If you look at pics this is NOT their hellfire and I have not seen another like it. This coral is very picky, if you look at it wrong it will RTN if you move it it will RTN so I am pretty much scared to do anything to this coral. I have had it die back to just the encrusting several times

Its a diva coral for sure
