I came across this piece at a LFS recently. The formation and colouration was what caught my curiosity. I originally mistook it for an Australomussa rowleyensis. After much research I've managed it identify it as: Moseleya Latistellata
The colour looks very different in my Display when compared to that of the LFS. It's not often I come across Teal/Blue colours with respect to LPS. :dance: There are also noticeable Purple and Orange colouration to this piece. In the evening when the moonlight is on (and when the lights are off) I have observed the flesh inflate and rise up above the skeletal structure about 1/4 inch and the mouths open. I have yet to observe tentacles/sweepers yet but I'm looking forward to it. Needless to say; I'm very happy with this find.
Enclosed are pictures purposely taken under different lighting conditions to illustrate the texture and colour. Enjoy.
This is what it looked like at the LFS (taken with a camera phone):
In my Display under 100% White Lighting:
In my Display under 100% Blue Actinic Lighting:
In my Display 50% White and 50% Actinic (50/50) Lighting:
Distance picture in my Display using a Camera Phone (most accurate colour rendition in my opinion):
