blue trumpet coral

[Sniperhank]

So, being bored at work i was doing some random surfing and stumbled upon a blue trumpet coral. I knew about green and the one i owned was brown...but blue? Is this a legit coral or a bleached one that was dyed? Cant seem to find real info on it.

Never heard of a Blue Trumpet Coral but who knows it might be for real...
Maybe some seasoned reefer here can answer that question.

I saw them on liveaquaria.com once. They aren't bright blue but kind of a cornflower color.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda neat. Im a sucker for blue, so it might be a future addition.

Thanks. I didn't know there were blue 1s either. Till 1 day I went to my lfs and they had a whole colony 4sale. I was like wow. Well anyways I payed $45 for about 50 heads. At the time I had a biocube and had no room for the whole colony, so i traded alot of them off and only kept 3 heads. A few months later I got a bigger tank, sure wish I would have kept the whole thing.
