The WWC David Blaine Paly (Palythoa sp.)—lineaged and popularized by World Wide Corals—is a high-end, magical collector cultivar named after the famed illusionist for its uncanny ability to transform under different lighting spectrums. Highly prized for its intricate, hypnotizing face pattern, this premium palythoa features a deep sapphire-to-cobalt blue or dark violet oral disc covered in fine, radiating iridescent streaks, centered around a glowing emerald-to-turquoise mouth and finished with long, vibrant neon-green to teal skirt tentacles.
Coloration: Sapphire-blue to dark violet face disc with radiating metallic blue-green striations, a glowing emerald mouth, and bright neon-green to teal skirt tentacles.
Growth Pattern: Colonial mat (encrusts rapidly across rockwork, plugs, and tiles, forming large, fleshy, multi-polyp mats). Sold as 2-3 polyps.
Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 75–125).
Water Flow: Low to Moderate (Gentle, indirect sweeping current).
Feeding: Photosynthetic and active feeder; responds eagerly to target feeding with meaty micro-pellets, mysis shrimp, or coral amino acids to accelerate growth and polyp expansion.
Aggressiveness: Semi-Aggressive / Toxic (fast-growing encraster that can crowd smaller zoas; contains Palytoxin—handle with proper protective gear).
Care Level: Easy to Moderate (Hardy and resilient, holding its deep blue disc saturation best under blue-heavy LED actinics).
