✨ The Hologram Hammer is back at Biota ✨

This Euphyllia ancora isn’t just any Hammer coral. It’s cultured, not taken from the reef, and carefully selected for its stunning green and purple holographic coloration.

Biota Jake says it reminds him of a holographic Pokémon card, and we couldn’t agree more. Photos don’t do this coral justice, it’s truly one of the most unique and beautiful Hammer strains we’ve ever offered.

📷 showing off her Bali captive bred Majestic Angelfish and her photography skills!

These two stunning shots capture something reef keepers rarely get to witness: the incredible color transformation of the Majestic Angelfish from juvenile to adult.

In the wild, juveniles are rarely collected because they begin transitioning at a very young age. That’s just one reason why captive bred Majestic Angelfish are extra special; they give hobbyists the rare opportunity to watch this transformation happen firsthand, from bold bars to flowing gradients of royal blue and gold.

Thanks to for sharing this moment!

🟣🧡 Why Choose a Biota Palau Captive-Bred Coral Beauty Angelfish? 🧡🟣

Not all Coral Beauties are created equal, and Biota’s captive-bred specimens from Palau are in a league of their own. Here’s why:

✅ Superior Coloration: Coral Beauties from different geographic regions have different coloration. Palauan Coral Beauties have deep, vibrant purples and fiery orange flanks with crisp contrast. Their overall coloration is more vivid than wild-caught fish from other regions like Indonesia or the Philippines. Biota Palau hand-picks the most vibrant broodstock, ensuring genes from the most colorful individuals are passed down to our captive bred fish.

✅ Ethical & Sustainable: These angelfish are bred and raised in Biota’s Palau facility. You’re supporting marine conservation with every purchase.

✅ No Worries about Collection and Handling Stress: Our Coral Beauties never experience the stress of reef collection or crowded export bags. They’re acclimated to life in aquariums from day 1, raised on pellets and frozen foods.

✅ Hardy, Healthy, Ready for Your Reef: These fish are conditioned for aquarium life and have a strong track record of success in home tanks.

You’re not just getting a captive bred fish, you’re getting an exceptionally vividly colored fish and peace of mind.

"A few days ago, I shot a video from 's Fort Lauderdale facility and I couldn't look away from these baby Majestic angelfish chowing down on some food! I'm not sure what the food was (I'm guessing it's a tiny TDO from ) but it was great to see little ones already chowing down prepared dry food with such enthusiasm! That electric blue is a chef's kiss!"
