A pretty cool reef-building hard coral from the pacific (mostly Japan and Australia), but it's part of subclass octocorallia, making it related to soft coral (same group as leathers, gorgonia, xenia, clove polyps, GSP, etc.). It's the only octocoral with a massive skeleton, which grows in a branching or thin-wall like pattern. Its skeleton is blue when it dies
In some tanks its growth may be fast enough to be somewhat invasive, but since it can tolerate a wide range of parameters, I've found keeping it in relatively lower light (100 μmol·m−2·s−1) stalls its growth significantly.
It is brown and does not glow, but is extremely hardy and unique enough to be worth a shot. From what I know it's an old school coral
Pickup in SJ if interested
