Anybody seen or have this? I have not been able to find it and never seen one anywhere.
The polyps are half white, half the same color as the base of the corals (which is wierd, I haven't seen a coral like that). The new growth is blue or purple and the base seems grey.
Hard to believe that there isn't more of this out there! What do you think?
sorry pic taken under blue leds only I will get a better one today, just trying to show the polyps, which are the best part.

Usually when I see white polyps from my sps it means they are starving
 
Defiantly not the case for this coral, It always had white polyps when it's healthy. It gets stressed and they go away. I feed a TON of food, mysis soaked in selcon, brightwells amino, and vitamin c. I use papone and other coral foods twice a week each. I feed anytime I have the opportunity and have lots of fish. The polyps are always half silvery white.
 
That's it! I can't believe I haven't heard of it. I love this coral, thanks for the link!
