It typically features an encrusting to plating structure with a base that can range from bright pink to orange or golden yellow, overlaid with irregular patches of green, teal, purple, and red that appear to shift and “confuse” the overall pattern. The tightly packed polyps create a fine, velvety texture across the surface, enhancing the coral’s complex coloration. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent pigments intensify dramatically, causing different sections of the colony to glow independently and creating a constantly evolving rainbow effect. As it grows, it encrusts and may form layered plating edges that further amplify its multi-tonal appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1536\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"971\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPS (Small Polyp Stony)\u003cbr data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"998\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1011\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e High (approximately 200–350 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High with strong, random turbulent flow to promote healthy growth and prevent detritus buildup\u003cbr data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1171\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional dosing of amino acids, trace elements, and fine SPS coral foods\u003cbr data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; non-aggressive but encrusting growth can overtake nearby rock surfaces over time\u003cbr data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable live rock in high-light, high-flow zones where it can safely encrust and expand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1892\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWe maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health.
