📜 Backstory
Widely sold as 'Rainbow BTA' by Tidal Gardens, Bulk Reef Supply, Reef Chasers, Top Shelf Aquatics, AquaCorals and many others; the 'ECC Rainbow BTA' line is offered by Eye Catching Coral. It is a natural high-color form of E. quadricolor. Most traded pieces are aquacultured splits, but the underlying coloration is wild in origin and lineage of individual pieces is usually undocumented (origin debated).
Keeper tips for this variant
Stronger light brings out the multicolor pigments — aim for moderate-to-high light (PAR ~200-300) once acclimated, with moderate flow so the tentacles sway. Acclimate to brighter light slowly to avoid bleaching.
