    I'm falling in love with blue anthelia.

    I have 3 different varieties. One of them hasn't settled into my tank yet so the pic is rather shotty.


    Snowflake "turf" anthelia (about 1/4" tall).

    Longer blue anthelia-- grows to about 2 or 2.5" long. Just got this frag a couple days ago, taking some time to mellow out (flow turned off in this pic).

    Only "kinda" blue--- it's more blue in person, but it's a pearlescent blue. This stuff seems to grow about 1" to 1.25" long. Kinda "other-worldly" in appearance.

    Of course, "tubbs blues" (or so I was told). These were grown under filtered sunlight in a reef farm (greenhouse), so they aren't as bright blue as they could be, but after a month in my tank they've picked up some very nice blue.
