Hey All, just saw an article about this beautiful and rare LPS coral, Arcohelia Redeviva. It is a non-photosynthetic coral from Australia. This is simply put.... one beautiful coral!! Here's a pic:

Apparently the care is similar as for dendros and duncans and must be target fed to keep it happy. Right now cherry corals has a couple of large colonies for sale for $900 and $1000. However, they do have a couple of smaller frags available at a more affordable price of $100 each.

Here's a write up on them that appeared in the Oct. 2009 issue of Reef Hobbyist magazine:

One of the locals here snatched one up from the diver's den when it went on sale some time back. Very nice looking, I don't have the patience for non-photosynthetic corals though.

Very cool colors for a non-photosynthetic.
