Names that contain “Blondie” and are not this coral: Reverse Blue Eyed Blondie, Reverse Blondie. They are separate corals traded at their own prices, so read the animal rather than the label.
A small-polyp zoa with a bright orange skirt, a wide yellow ring or face (the blonde), and a bright blue mouth (the blue eye). Under low light the polyps stretch larger and paler; under strong light they stay tight to the rock and bright.
Blue, yellow, orange from the middle out. A Scrambled Eggs has the same centre over a green skirt. A Fruit Loops is described in almost the same words, with a thin purple band and even smaller heads the only differences given, and shops have sold each under the other's name, so a photograph of the colony counts for more than the label. A Reverse Blue Eyed Blondie is a different coral with an orange centre and green face. A classic, grown for over a decade, and no originator is named.
Low to middle rock, enough flow to keep detritus off the mat. Blondie is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.
No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per polyp and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One polyp, so a ten-polyp frag is divided by ten. Listings that do not state the count are dropped rather than assumed. Nothing on this page is for sale.
