🧬 Overview
The “Chernobyl Blue Tip” Catalaphyllia takes the unmistakable radioactive coloration of the Chernobyl morph and adds a beautiful contrasting feature — distinctive blue-tipped tentacles.
The combination of an ultra-fluorescent toxic yellow body with cool blue tips creates exceptional separation under blue spectrum lighting. As the tentacles extend and move with the flow, the contrasting tips become even more noticeable, giving this specimen an incredible combination of colour, fluorescence and movement.
This Size L Collector Piece has been selected as a premium display specimen for reef keepers looking for something beyond the standard Chernobyl coloration. Its large presence, intense fluorescence and unusual blue-tipped contrast make it a true centrepiece coral.
