Anyone ever heard of a white fiji folded brain coral?

My LFS had one for sale for $50 the past week, but by the time I saw it, it was already marked sold (he holds corals for people that wanna pay later). I had never seen this kind of folded (flat) brain coral before. I was wondering if anyone here had ever seen another one before or if anyone owns one. It's a white folded brain coral. Very very pretty. I would have bought it in a heartbeat and put it in my tank

I'd steer away. White is not a color of life in the ocean. More than likely it is light-damaged or already dead.

It was alive. It was not 100% white. but a good 90% white. The owner of the LFS said he fed it within 2 days after he received it, and I've known this guy for a long time, he also used to be my neighbor, so I trust him. When he gets his shipment in on Thursday, I'll ask him about it. Oh yeah, it wasn't a bleached white coral color. more of a soft white (not like a light bulb). If he still has it in his tank, I'll ask him If I can take a picture of it.
