It develops thick, irregular branches covered in fine, fuzzy-looking polyps that give the colony a “hairy” or velvety appearance. The “Sour Apple” morph is especially prized for its vivid neon green to chartreuse base coloration contrasted by subtle yellow or lime highlights, creating a bright, acidic glow under reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"739\"\u003eAs the colony grows, it forms dense, bushy structures that add both texture and striking color to SPS-dominated reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"756\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPS\u003cbr data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"763\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"776\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High (approximately 150–300 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"824\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High; strong, random flow is important to keep tissue healthy and prevent detritus buildup within the branching structure\u003cbr data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"975\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"997\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; may benefit from occasional amino acid supplementation or ultra-fine SPS coral foods\u003cbr data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; lacks sweeper tentacles but requires space due to its branching growth form\u003cbr data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed in mid to upper reef zones with strong lighting and flow where it can expand freely without shading nearby corals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1741\" 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.
