LTRA NEON PURPLE HELIOFUNGIA PLATE CORAL (Medium, 3-4")
Transform Your Tank with a Showstopping Neon Purple Plate Coral
Looking for a true collector piece to anchor your sand bed? The Ultra Neon Purple Heliofungia Plate Coral is one of the rarest color morphs in the plate coral world, and it's available now at The Coral Boutique. This LPS specimen brings an electric purple hue with long, waving tentacles that create constant motion on the reef floor, a level of visual impact that's hard to match in a saltwater aquarium.
Heliofungia crassa (the Long Tentacle Plate Coral) is a free-living species, meaning it isn't attached to rock and can actually relocate itself short distances across the sand over time. Fully extended, this specimen's tentacles fan out well beyond its skeletal disc, giving it a striking anemone-like presence under reef lighting. It's a slow, steady grower that stays a centerpiece specimen rather than sprawling across your rockwork, making it ideal for sand-bed placement in a mixed reef or LPS-focused display.
