Transform Your Tank with Neon Green and Gold
Looking for an SPS frag that pops from across the room? The Banana Slug Acro is a staghorn Acropora with neon green polyps over bright yellow and orange corallites, finished with a purple growth tip. Under reef lighting the whole branch glows. It's the kind of color that makes an acro tank, and at The Coral Boutique we have just one in stock.
This piece is a single branch frag on a plug, ready to mount in your reef tank. Staghorn Acropora grow upward and outward into branching colonies, so with stable water and strong light this frag becomes a tree shaped centerpiece over time. Give it room to branch, high flow and consistent alkalinity, and expect the color to deepen as it settles in.
