So, just snagged this guy from a local reefer for super cheap, he insisted that this is what the Acanthophyllia always looks like, but to my eye it is bleached pretty clearly. It has some hints of greens, yellows, reds, but is WAY whiter than any meat coral I have seen before. I assumed it would need some TLC, but has real potential to color up pretty significantly. The photo is with a filter, and even looks more colored than it does in person. In person it's almost totally white.
I've had a lot of luck recently picking up browned out corals (ended up being a gold torch, and a metallic green torch), so figured I'd give this one a try.
Let me know your thoughts on this one, and then I will update this one in a month or two to see if I actually can get this guy to color up!
Thanks everyone
