Each polyp typically features a deep red to maroon center resembling ripe watermelon flesh, surrounded by a bright green outer rim that forms a sharp, glowing contrast. The raised corallites give the colony a textured, brain-like appearance, with each polyp clearly defined and often slightly domed. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting, the green rims fluoresce intensely while the red centers deepen in tone, creating a striking, high-contrast display reminiscent of its namesake fruit. As the colony grows, it encrusts and forms tightly packed clusters of vividly colored polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPS (Large Polyp Stony)\u003cbr data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"878\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate (approximately 50–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"951\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate with gentle, indirect flow to promote full polyp expansion and prevent tissue recession\u003cbr data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1058\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from regular target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped seafood, or specialized LPS coral diets.\u003cbr data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; capable of extending sweeper tentacles at night and should be given adequate spacing from nearby corals.\u003cbr data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable rockwork or lower reef structures where it can safely encrust and expand without contact with more delicate species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1879\" 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.
