H. Crispa/Malu color

[COreefer]

I picked this up about 3 weeks ago, and it has held its color nicely. It is about 2" in diameter. I have seen this color in pictures but never available locally. I'm pretty sure it is H. Malu but to be honest the creature was too small to examine when I go it and haven't wanted to disturb it to look underneath. Anyway, has anyone had experience with this color morph? Do they tend to hold their purple color given good environment?

yes i have one like that, prob. H. malu and they do keep the color as do the pink or purple tentacle H. crispa, so you're good whatever the case my be.

Picked it up at an LFS here in Colorado...no if I could only find a nice colored carpet just as healthy (different tank )

Thats a nice looking one! If you dont mind how much do these normally go for?

 

[COreefer]

IDK I got it for $20 at my LFS, he said it is normally higher

 

[davocean]

Wow!
That's a score for sure, I've been looking at wholesaler lists and even their prices are more than that.

 

[COreefer]

yeah DO...I think I lucked out on that one.
