Dang. Just saw 2 captive bred coral beauties
They were the size of quarters. The yellow on them was stunning. Much more pronounced than captured.
If I didn't have a flame back already I'd be very tempted to get them. |

Nice! Normally on the captive breds, the yellow is washed out.

i saw the same thing at an LFS here in Dallas a few weeks back. same size as well. curious as to what were those priced? the 2 i saw carried a $70.00 price per fish and just couldn't pull the trigger on one at that rate without making sure i wasnt getting the screws.

I have one, I thought I was just being biased but to me the colours are much more vivid than on many of the wc I have seen recently

re size mine was around 1" when I got her, that was six months ago and she is now over 2". I'm about to try adding a captive bred flame to the tank also

These are the Biota ones I assume. Been seeing them pop up on LA/DD lately. They look nice but a bit off to me and it may just be they are so young.

Or any input on whether they may be more or less reef safe than WC?

mine is in with a load of softies, xenia, clove, leathers, gorgs etc all I've seen in six months is the occasional nip at one of my large polyped nps gorgs. even then I suspect its eating the algae growing on it rather than the coral itself but still causes it to close for a short time
