I will discuss the general properties of one of the most beautiful colour superconducting phases of quark matter, the so-called colour-flavour locked (CFL) phase. The structure of low energy effective action will be presented, and the transport properties of such a phase will be discussed. Potential importance of these properties for the physics of compact stars will be mentioned.
