Against my better judgement I am thinking about ordering a coral beauty for my tank. Are there common coloration differences between coral beauties from the following collection points?

Fiji
Indonesia
Philippines

I know Mauritius coral beauties are pretty distinct, but are hard to come by.

Tonga coral beauty are the prettiest I've ever seen. I don't what it is, I just know they are so beautiful. I think they have more finnage & are a more florescent type of purple, but I don't really know.

I would pick the Fiji sources one if it were me. It's the only country you can be sure it was collected responsibly and without chems.

Thats a good point. I was planning to order from liveaquaria. They offer Fiji CBs. Wonder if their indonesian suppliers are good/responsible.

My favorite color variant by far is the deep purple body with just a small amount of flaming orange belly/body. Where are they from?

Thats a nice one!

I'm a fan of ones with well defined stripping on the body. Really like the tiger tail Mauritius ones.
