Hypnotic pulsing soft coral — the polyps rhythmically open and close. Very fast-growing and hardy. Can become invasive if not managed. Some tanks find it stops pulsing — usually a water chemistry cue.

Hypnotic pulsing motion that draws every eye to the tank. Kids love it. Grows fast and is nearly impossible to kill.
🚨 TAKEOVER RISK
Control Difficulty: Very Hard — Will colonize every surface within months. Removal means physically detaching and scraping, and fragments regrow. Avoid entirely if you want a deliberate, controlled rockscape.
