A variant of Palythoa (Palythoa grandis)

A large-polyp paly known for an electric blue, sparkly, spattered contrasting center on the oral disc — like a dropped splatter of paint against the surrounding face.
📜 Backstory
'Magician' is a well-known named collector paly, prized for its blue-sparkle center. It is now widely aquacultured and traded through many vendors, so while still a desirable collector piece it is no longer a true grail. As is typical for top-tier paly/zoa lineages, its exact mother-colony origin is debated and naming runs ahead of documented provenance.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate light and moderate flow on mid-level rockwork; palys tolerate higher nutrients than acros and respond very well to feeding, so they thrive in established tanks.
