A sky-blue center ringed by a fiery red-orange rim and skirted by more sky blue, named for the jet-afterburner contrast between cool core and hot wall.
📜 Backstory
A named Lobo brain sold by Tidal Gardens as individually-priced WYSIWYG specimens, with their lobos sourced from Australia. Tidal Gardens applies the "Afterburner" name to lobos showing this blue-center/red-rim pattern; it is a look-based vendor name rather than a single propagated mother colony.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place on the sandbed under medium light; low, indirect flow protects the inflated tissue. Hardy and slow-growing, it makes an easy centerpiece.
