I bought this coral from WWC a little over a year ago. They give nearly every coral new name, but to me, it just looks like a variation of a pearlberry. It is mainly a purple tint with some green. Their name for it was “Blue Blade”, but I see no blue. Even the original picture has a purplish tint. Can anyone give a second opinion on what they think it is? Maybe my parameters have pushed it into a more purple tone..

I have a couple of different shades to help differentiate.

Bump indeed. I’ve been looking at the Miyagi* Torts, and it looks very similar. Maybe it is just Blue Blade and my light and growth have just made it this way.

I was looking to frag and sell, but I didn’t want kick back from people saying it wasn’t blue, if that makes sense. Then, I could also price it accurately.
