It forms a thin, carpet-like layer that closely follows rock surfaces, gradually developing a granular, sandpaper-like texture made up of densely packed corallites. The “Grasshopper” morph is especially prized for its bright neon green to yellow-green tissue contrasted with subtle darker undertones, creating a lively, high-fluorescence appearance across the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"874\"\u003eUnder actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, the vivid green tones intensify significantly, giving the coral a glowing, almost electric “grass-like” effect that stands out in lower to mid-light reef zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1543\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPS \/ Encrusting Coral\u003cbr data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"917\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"930\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (approximately 100–250 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"970\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"984\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High; strong, random flow helps maintain clean tissue and supports healthy encrusting growth\u003cbr data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1114\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; may benefit from occasional amino acid supplementation or ultra-fine particulate SPS coral foods\u003cbr data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1283\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; does not possess sweeper tentacles but should be given space due to its fast encrusting growth pattern\u003cbr data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1399\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable rockwork in mid-level lighting zones where it can safely encrust and expand without shading nearby corals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1899\" 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.
