📜 Backstory
Sold by Tidal Gardens, World Wide Corals (as 'WWC Captain America Palythoas') and Vivid Aquariums, and featured on Reef2Reef, the Captain America Palythoa is one of the most recognizable patterned grandis-type palys in the trade. It is a vendor/aquaculture line rather than tied to a single named person, so its original origin is best described as debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
