NEON GREEN AUSSIE ACANTHAPHYLLIA (Medium, 2-3")
Transform Your Tank with an Australian Neon Green Meat Coral
Looking for a premium Australian-origin LPS with electric color and serious display presence? The Neon Green Aussie Acanthaphyllia brings a saturated, almost fluorescent green mantle that pops hard under blue reef lighting, and it's exactly the kind of grail piece collectors build a saltwater aquarium around.
Acanthaphyllia deshayesiana is a free-living LPS species, sitting loose on the sand rather than cementing to rock, and it will fully inflate its thick, fleshy mantle when settled, ballooning well past its skeletal base into a glowing green cushion. Aussie-origin Acanthaphyllia are known for holding tighter, brighter color than many other origins, and this specimen is no exception. It's a slow, steady grower that stays a single showpiece colony, making it a perfect low, wide anchor point for the front of a reef tank sand bed.
