well if thats what you mean...then you won't find a healthy one, they will all be bleached. Mines the white-est one I've ever seen thats healthy.

Yea, I think thats really as white as they come. White White...I honestly feel like thats a bleaching. I just bought a few months back a "white-pale yellow" Goniopora from Dr Mac that was concidered RARE. Well, turns out this rare coloration form was just a common bleaching that occours under MH lighting. For what I paid $70 for a rare color, turned out to be dime a dozen brown coral. Not to mention, I had to treat this coral special because it was/is bleached. So more Iron Maganese supplements had to be added and the coral had to be shaded.
So, I would look into more rare morphs of the hammers then looking for a white one, you may get it but it will probably color up. I am looking for a green with purple tips.

JENnKerry,
The Yellow Goniopora are not "rare", some of them come in with odd colors though. I have had one in my display tank for about a year and it still has the exact same color. I have about 8 Goniopora in there and all are doing great fed Frozen Cyclop eeze daily. I don't keep any of them under metal halides so they are not "bleached" from metal halides or anything else that I know of.
