Metallic Teal / Blue Candy Cane

A bluer color morph where the centers and skirts fluoresce a metallic teal-to-aqua rather than green, giving each trumpet head a cooler, jewel-toned cast under actinics.

📜 Backstory

The teal/blue color forms are selected wild collections that show up sporadically in Australian and Indonesian shipments. They trade for a modest premium over the standard green because the blue pigment is less common in Caulastraea; still a hobbyist staple rather than a named designer line.

Keeper tips for this variant

Heavier blue lighting brings out the teal best; place in low flow so the polyps balloon out, and spot-feed mysis to speed branching.
