Representative Plate coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
An **intensely bright red** Diaseris plate; some specimens develop **small spots of purple swirls** as they mature.
📜 Backstory
A captive-grown **Tidal Gardens** lineage; their listing describes a release as their 'first' after several generations in captivity, propagated by Diaseris self-division at their Ohio facility. The named cause of the occasional purple swirling is unconfirmed even by the vendor.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep on the sandbed under low-to-moderate light with gentle flow; target-feed to maintain the deep red. The purple swirling appears on some specimens with maturity, though the cause is not definitively known.
