One hot Granny! Hard to tell in the horrible phone pic w/ flash and no tank lights but she will actually get more of a creamy white/ tan body with blue tips and purple centers.... with bright white polyps! Still has a little coloring up to do tho, but pretty much there.

The body seems to be taking on an iridescent green/teal coloration.

My luck just part of the color-up process, but hopefully it will hold
