I think it pretty! A few years back, it would have 5 different names, but 5 crazy expensive price tags.
I would pay that no problem, it's beautiful!

Is that really what a Tenuis is going for over there now? I bought a maricultured Tenuis of similar size, if not a bit larger, for less than $20 last year, granted it was a bit browned but was coloring up nicely after a few weeks.

TGC Cherry Bomb is a red tenius with aqua blue mixed in on the stem/body. The polyps have red, green and blue mixed in as well.

Edit: In my limited experience, it is like Walt Disney. Easy to grow and keep alive. Very very hard to get perfect coloration.

Looks like a frag off of a Mari tenuis. There are many colors now. For the shop to import, take the risk and all of that, $99 seems fine.

I have not talked to anybody in a few years, but these choose those ones to keep their color in aquariums. Even though this was a few years ago, it takes a while for these to grow and stuff. They probably could green out for a while coming from 6500k in the ocean to all-blue LED at 150 PAR. I am joking, but you get the point. If it starts to lose color, just give it more daylight and it should look nice.
