Maybe tomorrow. I don't feel like turning my flow off to get a shot.

It looks brown to me Is it rare?

 

[tosiek]

Descently rare. Majority of crocea's are purple and any brown tints are pigments from the bacteria/zoozanthelle and never cover the whole mantle =0) Thank god for mutated genetics right?

Real nice find. :biggrin:

 

[tosiek]

Hah! nm. color was bad in my pics. there is purple in the mantle. But the brown coloration completely covers it! Either way its a pretty sweet oddball find. Real nice!

And marki, the black is in the eye spots.
