Pastel pink-to-magenta polyps ('bubblegum') often with green or blue centers, a softer-toned variation on the rainbow theme.
📜 Backstory
'Bubblegum' is a descriptive trade term used across several LPS genera (acans, chalices) to denote a candy-pink palette, not a single named donor colony. Individual pink-dominant lord pieces are hand-picked from imports; usage of the name varies between vendors, so origin should be treated as debated/non-specific.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate-low light brings out the pink pastels — too much PAR can wash out the delicate coloration; keep flow gentle and feed regularly to keep polyps plump.
