I have been watching these palys color up at my local fish store for weeks now. Luckily, they never sold during my viewing time. So this past week I finally bought the main colony and the mini colony the store cut off of the main colony. These have extremely neon skirts. The skirts are a mixture of green, pink, yellow, and orange, with orange being the most dominant color. Under blue LEDs the other colors show much more vividly. The bodies consist of a dark, near-black, "background" with a lot of golden-yellow explosion/splatter action going on in the "foreground". Also, the new "baby" polyps start as being solid neon orange and then develop the previously described markings as they mature. This can be seen in the photos below. Does anyone know if this morph is named, frequent, both, etc. ?
The palys are currently in my all softy power compact lit Bio-Cube. These pictures pretty much show the least of their potential as I run one bulb that produces brown light and one that produces basically teal light. However, softies love it and prosper like crazy in this tank.
