Tyree Purple Monster

Tyree Purple Monster There are a few “Purple Monster look-alikes” in circulation that claim to be the original. I was fortunate enough to obtain a colony from a reefer who was leaving the hobby and has been collecting for more years than many have been in the hobby. I respect him and trust him to accurately identify it. The frag that this colony grew from was originally from Leishman. It was originally imported back in 1995 from the Solomons. It was a very unique and distinctive coral having a Christmas tree form composed of smooth thick branches. This coral was placed within Steve Tyree's 180 gallon reef. It was featured in an MFM article way back in 1996. The name was coined by Steve Shvetstoff while he was living in the Oakland area of California. Those of you unfamiliar with this coral can see its web page at http://www.dynamicecomorphology.com/stevepurple.htm .75 inch mounted - $400
