It forms a thin, spreading base that gradually carpets rockwork with a textured surface of raised corallites. The “butterscotch” coloration typically features creamy caramel to amber tissue tones dotted with bright neon green or yellow polyps, creating a glowing, starry-night effect across the colony. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent polyps intensify significantly, giving the coral a warm, glowing appearance that stands out beautifully in lower reef zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"1525\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"783\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPS \/ Encrusting Coral\u003cbr data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"809\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"822\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 50–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"890\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect flow helps keep the surface clean and supports healthy polyp extension\u003cbr data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1012\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; benefits from occasional target feeding with fine particulate foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef to enhance growth and coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; does not typically extend sweeper tentacles but should be given space to encrust without competition from faster-growing corals\u003cbr data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1383\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1397\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable rock surfaces in lower to mid-light areas where it can safely spread and develop its encrusting pattern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1881\" 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.
