While there are colorful acanthous I believe the rarity and colors of an indophillia are unmatched

After years in the hobby I have to agree with you. This one is probably the most insane I've seen yet!

Thank you we have been hoarding this gem for a long time.

nice photo. Looking back through this thread, it appears that all indophillia posted here are almost the same color and patterns including mine. Not alot of variation when compared to some of their cousins. Some have better photography skills, but you can see the common characteristics if you look pass the photography. Point here is not to highlight photoshop boost, but to say that we all could have super looking ones with the proper care. I did notice mine has significantly improved from my post a couple pages back when I started dosing nitrates. I was at zero for awhile and finally at 2. Goal is to get 5 at some point. I barely feed so increase there would also help color up!

Well when we perfect coral breeding, she would be a prime candidate for aquaculture. Breeding this group of corals is a personal goal of mine, actually.

So beautiful! The fact that they can co-habitate like that is so neat.

Acantho and Cynarina are one of the forgiving corals IME.
Hope I can find LFS to get me a Indophyllia.

They are pretty rare compared to the meat coral. That being said anything is possible

Love the Acantho

BUMP for more meat coral appreciation! I know there are some stunners out there!

I received this indophyllia detaching from part of the skeleton. It is now well on its way to healing up!

And soon hopefully it will expand its tissues like this one.
