📜 Backstory
The Bali Shortcake is a rosy color form of *Acropora latistella* collected from Bali (covered by Reef Builders in 2014). Vivid Aquariums aquacultures and brands its own grow-out as 'Vivid's Bali Shortcake'; the same color form is also sold by World Wide Corals, Sunnyside Corals and Motor City Corals, distinct from the common Strawberry Shortcake by source locale and species.
