First time buying wild in awhile. Info tenuis. I really hope color holds and it survives.

That looks like it was from ASD, right? If it’s a freshly imported MC piece, I hope it holds its color for you too.

Put it in stable conditions with solid flow/lighting and leave it alone. It will more than likely look totally different a few months from now. Unless you can match the conditions it was receiving prior being tanked.

If truly wild, moderate flow and bright lights which it’s accustomed to in the wild

That particular color morph I have had trouble with. It always wants to go green at the base and just a little purple in the tips and coralites near them. Let us know how it does! I would agree it will need strong and white light to keep it looking close to that pic. I might try one again this year.
