I have been sharing some of my most unusual beauties and this is certainly one of them. It came from a reefer buddy and he always has the rarest of the rare. So many that he loses track occasionally. I spotted this in his tank and asked for a frag. When I revisited his tank some months later, it was gone. So now I owe him a frag of mine to replace his missing mini colony and no, I did not take his mini-colony. He gave me a frag of it to keep. Anyway, this has been growing great. It is really unusual because like Z's Paradise it has unusual branch coloring, blue. This blue is different and actually has a tinge of purple in it. Z's Superman also has what appear to be more numerous corallites on the branches than Z's Paradise. Additionally, the polyps are longer and more vivid on Z's Superman.

If you want to see Z's Paradise:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/zs-paradise.332710/#post-4146156 or another of mine,
Z's Yellow Eyed Jawdropper:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/zs-yellow-eyed-jawdropper.327110/


So, here it is:

Z's Superman





Z's Superman (July 2016)




Z's Superman (October 2017)









If you look at the base which is the left half of the picture below, you will see the polyps start out kind of a blah brownish-red and then as you get closer to new growth on the branches and tips, the polyps get extremely vivid red.
