One of the two officially recognized sunburst strains: highlighter neon-orange tentacles, often tipped in yellow, with a contrasting aqua-and-green oral disc. A premier must-have BTA in the trade.
📜 Backstory
Sold by Top Shelf Aquatics, Tidal Gardens (grown from their dedicated sunburst display tank), Vivid Aquariums, Bulk Reef Supply and Eye Catching Coral, frequently with lineage noted (e.g. 'TSA lineage', 'Sang Lee lineage'). The Colorado Sunburst (CSB) is a natural wild-origin color form, now propagated almost entirely as captive splits, with reputable sellers tracking the CSB strain lineage.
Keeper tips for this variant
Medium light (PAR ~150-350) and moderate flow show the neon orange best; it does not require blasting PAR. Anchor it low on rock with good water movement around the bubbles. Note that under Kessil/LED lighting the CSB can shift toward yellow, reverting under other lighting.
