It spreads as a delicate, plating sheet that closely follows rock contours, often forming overlapping layers with a smooth, almost glassy surface. The “BBQ Chip” morph is prized for its rich, warm base tones—typically deep browns, reds, or maroons—accented with bright fluorescent greens, oranges, or yellows that resemble scattered “chips” across the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"840\"\u003eUnder actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, these fluorescent highlights intensify dramatically, creating a glowing, speckled effect that stands out even in shaded areas of the reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"857\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPS \/ Encrusting Coral\u003cbr data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"883\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"896\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate (approximately 30–100 PAR) — prefers shaded or lower-light zones\u003cbr data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"980\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"994\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage and keep the delicate surface clean\u003cbr data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1128\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; benefits from occasional target feeding with very fine particulate foods such as Reef Roids or planktonic blends\u003cbr data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; does not possess sweeper tentacles but should be given space to encrust without competition from faster-growing corals\u003cbr data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on shaded or lower reef rockwork where light is indirect and flow is gentle, allowing it to spread in thin, glowing layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1956\" 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.
