📜 Backstory
A recognized 'Cotton Candy' tenuis trade morph (listed by reefs.com, Tank Facts, Pacific Aqua Farms and others). It is traded under various vendor prefixes and the original wild colony's collection is origin debated, so it is best treated as a general named tenuis rather than any single vendor's exclusive line.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place high under strong light and flow; the pastel pinks and blues hold best under intense, stable lighting.
