Blastomussa vivida are single, or a small number of polyps, that are larger than Blastomussa wellsi. Vivida tend to have more unusual colors including Rainbow.

These are just a few we have posted now, more posting soon.

They sprout polyps off the sides.

Here are two 3/16" diameter polyps I just separated from the side of the parent and mounted them on their own small rock:

If all goes well and regular feeding, they should be full sized in maybe six months time (the parent polyp can expand to nearly 3" in diameter).
