Tusi, I purchased a frag from RMF about a year ago, it has not grown much to date, I will try and get a picture when Im in front of my tank, but hoping year two starts to put out some lateral growth.

It is a slow grower at first. Once it get going it grows pretty fast. Give it some steroids

I have one that is nearly the same, if not the same, but it did not come with the name. I might be able to get you a frag if you get desperate. Mine is not huge, but it is starting to get the whiteish-blue branches that fade into the greenish-cream and purple.

Look around for people who have deep waters. If this was typical-Vivid, they got in a colony, named it and then sold it out never to be kept by them again. It is probably not unique and there was probably more imported... who knows if any of them lived. I will see if I can get a photo later when the lights come on.

I do have a Bugglegum Loripes that is white with purple tips that might do in a pinch. Here is a photo of the frag when I got it from Peng. It has kept this color and is quite a nice little grower.

Definetly looks like it as a frag, what it does when it grows obiuosly have to do with a lot of things in tank but I’ll be interested in what you have

Not sure if this is the real deal, but was sold as Northern Lights granny. Was a very slow grower for me. I ended up giving this one to a friend who is still running halides, it's doing much better over there.
