Glitter Rainbow Purple Acanthophyllia
Transform Your Tank with a Rare, Shimmering Centerpiece Coral
Looking for a collector-grade LPS that stops the scroll? The Glitter Rainbow Purple Acantho is one of the most visually striking Acanthophyllia specimens available in the hobby — a deep royal purple base that catches reef LED lighting and throws back a constellation of gold, green, and rainbow metallic flecks across its entire fleshy surface. True glitter-grade coloration like this is uncommon in the trade, and in a WYSIWYG format, what you see is exactly what arrives at your door. This is the kind of specimen that defines a reef tank.
Acanthophyllia are single-polyp LPS corals known for their dramatically large, inflated profiles and surprisingly easygoing nature — making them equally ideal for experienced collectors and dedicated intermediate hobbyists. Placed on the sandbed under low to moderate lighting, this specimen will expand fully and reward consistent target feedings with even richer coloration over time. Slow-growing but impressively long-lived, an Acantho like this is a permanent fixture, not a passing trend.
