A green-based Cyphastrea with bright purple corallites/eyes that 'smear' and bleed into the green tissue as the colony grows. The purple-on-green is among the most recognizable Cyphastrea color schemes.
📜 Backstory
Purple People Eater (PPE) and the upgraded 'Master PPE' are long-established hobby strains carried by Jason Fox Signature Corals, Tidal Gardens, Pacific East Aquaculture and many others. The exact lineage of the original PPE is debated across vendors, but the Master PPE is recognized as the deeper-colored selected version.
Keeper tips for this variant
Low-to-moderate light and flow mid-tank; medium PAR helps the purple eyes stay vivid without bleaching the green base. It is a fast, easy grower.
