I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this species for sale (Plerogyra simplex), it’s a branching bubble coral (like a branching hammer only bubble coral). The normal bubble corals we see are somewhat branching, but P. simplex has much smaller heads or polyps and forms a dome just like a hammer or Duncan does. Here’s a phot:

So, have you ever seen this for sale or kept one?

These branching bubblegum coral have become rare over the years.
Last I saw any was from live aquaria and blue zoo aquatics

I have a frag with two heads I got a while back here in SWFL. Haven't seen it since for sale.
