Representative Elegance coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A high-saturation neon/lime green elegance, often with contrasting pale or colored tentacle tips — the 'toxic' green look prized for fluorescence under blue light.
📜 Backstory
A wild-collected color form whose value comes from the intensity of the green rather than any propagated lineage. Traded as 'green tip' or 'toxic green' elegance by a range of vendors (Blackfish Marine in the UK has sold toxic-green pieces, including under its own 'Toxic Spill' shop label). Origin is wild Australian/Indo-Pacific collection.
Keeper tips for this variant
Sand bed, low-to-moderate flow, and blue-heavy lighting to maximize the green fluorescence; avoid intense flow that keeps the polyp from inflating.
