Hello all! I have this colony and a few people have said it is a glitter bomb however, the tentacles aren’t as long as the glitter bombs I see online. Any idea as to what it could be? I took the pictures under a filter and two different blue settings on kessil 360x tuna blues

From my understanding, the true glitterbomb has almost no purple whilst the glitterball has the purple tips.

I’d say yours is a glitterball but can you get a closer photo of the whole tentacle?

I’d say it’s a ‘glitterball’ as the ‘glitter’ does go all the way into the head of the polyp but it’s also got a lot of purple.

Thanks! Yeah I saw it and instantly gravitated toward it. It’s larger than a softball and they had it listed for $200. At that price I had to have it haha
Oh absolutely!
I love my tiny frag of ‘Glitterball’ (sold as a Glitterbomb) and can’t wait for it to become a large colony.
