We just got a coral beauty that doesnt have any red or purple to him. He is a dark blue almost black and a golden color. His fins are tipped in an electric blue. Anyone seen one like this before? We got him just due to the fact he was very different than any other Coral beauty we had ever seen. I'll try to get pics of him when the lights come on this afternoon.

Was he very large? I have seen some of the larger, and (I'm assuming) older coral beauties with less coloring. However, the electric blue on their tailfin does seem to stand out more in the larger specimens I have seen.

sorry all i didnt see any interest so i left it alone for a few days. i do not think it s a white tail pygmy. its a little large and the colors are not the same. here are some pics they are not the best but he doesnt hold still very well.

I kind of see a blue fin pygmy, but blue fins have definate lateral lines. This has the marking of a coral beauty but the color of a blue fin.. Maybe a hybrid, probably not. I do know that coral beauties have different colors depending on where they are collected, but all the local differences I have see are purple and have different amount of yellow and orange.
