The top color grade — chaotic 'paint splatter' patterning with high-contrast neon orange, lime, blue and magenta blotches scattered across the flesh. The showpiece tier of rainbow Wellso/Trachy.
📜 Backstory
'Paint Splatter' is a recognized show grade — World Wide Corals lists 'Paint Splatter Trachyphyllia' (and XL) pieces, and Queen City Corals sells graded 'Rainbow Splatter' and 'Pink/Purple Splatter' Trachys. Tidal Gardens notes these splatter pieces can hold their own as a signature show piece on par with much more expensive scolymia or Acanthophyllia. Wild-collected, so lineage is per-specimen rather than a named propagated line — origin debated piece to piece.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep it on the sandbed under moderate blue-heavy light; too much white light or intense PAR can wash out the splatter colors, so favor lower light to hold saturation. Stable alkalinity matters.
