As the colony develops, it forms an encrusting to plating growth pattern covered in small, tightly spaced corallites that create a detailed and intricate appearance. Its contrasting green and fluorescent tones become especially striking under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting, making it an excellent choice for adding unique color and texture to an established reef aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPS Coral \/ Porites\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–300 PAR)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High; consistent, turbulent water movement helps deliver nutrients and oxygen while keeping debris from accumulating across the colony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods may support growth, coloration, and overall health\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally non-aggressive, but adequate spacing should be maintained as the colony expands across surrounding rockwork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable mid-to-upper rockwork where it can receive consistent lighting and moderate to strong, turbulent flow.
