not the best pic, but you can see some of the colors. My lights just came on a little bit ago, so it hasn't opened up all the way.

I actually got it at Polly's last night. Not sure if it's rare at all, but I have never seen one this color or with any purple on it at all. Any idea?

i only asked because i saw that at polly's yesterday, it was beautiful in person. considered picking it up myself, but it's just too close to christmas (money's mostly gone to christmas presents)

I know exactly what you mean! I just saw it and couldn't resist though and my wife (the boss) okayed it lol. It definitely is really nice in person....my picture doesn't do it justice at all.

Also, mine seems to have 4 mouths! Is that normal or do they split?

4 mouths how? Like 4 circles of feeding tentacles or 4 holes where the food goes? And as far do they split as far as I know nobody knows 100% but there is speculation that they may but it would take an incredibly long time because of their thick stoney base. Also thinking about it there wouldnt be much of an advantage for them to asexually reproduce as they are not motile.

Yes they can have multiple feeding holes. I had one very similar to yours and it was HUGE!!! It had feeding tentacles always out searching for food. If your new to open brains dont be shocked if they uninflate suddenly. They do that time to time when expelling waste.

Yes there are 4 holes, guessing that's where the food goes. They are def holes though, not tentacles.
