Representative Bubble coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The classic Plerogyra sinuosa form: clusters of pearly white-to-silver grape-like vesicles that inflate during the day and deflate at night to reveal feeder tentacles.
📜 Backstory
This is the wild-type, most widely traded Plerogyra sinuosa rather than a designer morph. Collected across the Indo-Pacific, it earned the 'pearl bubble' name from its translucent white vesicles. It is common and inexpensive, valued for its hardiness and unusual daytime bubble display rather than rarity.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place on the sand bed or low rock under low light and very gentle flow; strong flow tears the delicate bubbles, so keep it in a calm corner and feed meaty foods after dark.
