Rainbow Bowerbanki [WYSIWYG]

An Australian Blastomussa bowerbanki forming a compact colony with three large, fleshy heads. Each polyp has thick tissue and deep central folds, creating a heavy, sculptural form that expands confidently once settled.


Why we like it
This is a strong example of B. bowerbanki. The folds give it real texture, the tissue is dense and resilient, and it looks established quickly in a display. It’s characterful without relying on loud colour and only improves as additional heads develop.
