Holy Grail Micromussa
A variant of Micromussa (Micro Lord) (Micromussa amakusensis)
The iconic blue-light showpiece of the Micro Lord world: a glowing lime-yellow oral disc ringed by deep blue, then bands of lime-green and yellow, finished with a wide cherry-red outer ring. Often called the industry's top aquacultured LPS for its jewel-like, rainbow-ringed polyps.
📜 Backstory
A long-standing aquacultured *Micromussa amakusensis* line, widely traded as the 'F2M Holy Grail Micromussa.' Hobby consensus holds that **F2M** is short for **Fish2Morrow**, an early importer/grower believed no longer to be in business; the exact first-cut origin is debated. Worldwide Corals (WWC) sells a WYSIWYG 'WWC Holy Grail Micromussa,' and the F2M line is also carried by Top Shelf Aquatics, TerraReef Aquaculture, Pisces Fish and Coral, and others. Once an expensive collector's piece (freshly-cut frags traded around $400 from 2018-2023), it has become more attainable through aquaculture.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep it on the sandbed or a low rock shelf under modest light (~100-150 PAR) with gentle, indirect flow so the polyps inflate fully and the colors stay saturated rather than browning out. Target-feed a small amount of meaty frozen food about once a week.
