An established line. The same coral under this name at any shop.
Collector tier: common, reviewed 2026-08.
A zoa with a dark purple face covered in pink speckles and fine radial streaks, a pale pink band at the edge of the disc, and a small green dot of a mouth. The skirt is plum purple, each tentacle carrying a small bar or tip of teal green, so the rim reads dashed.
Pink speckle on dark purple, around a green mouth. An Utter Chaos is also a speckled purple face, but with an orange skirt; a People Eater wears a green skirt and no pink speckle. A Halle Berry is the name keepers argue it with: gold speckle and dark marks either side of the mouth, where this one is pink and green. Grown on farms since around 2014; some shops sell it as a paly.
Low to middle rock, enough flow to keep detritus off the mat. Pink Zipper 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.
