Notes: Surface covered with rounded tentacles that give it a plush or flower-like appearance. Very striking colors (green, orange, blue, purple). Slightly more demanding than Discosoma but very manageable. Responds well to direct feeding with mysis to grow faster. Highly sought after for its unique colors.
