Water Flow: Strong, random and turbulent
Placement: Upper reef
Type: Cut-to-Order Frag (CTO)
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Green & Gold Cerealis” is a striking SPS coral admired for its elegant metallic colour combination and refined branching growth. This unique morph develops vibrant fluorescent green pigmentation layered with warm golden tones, creating a rich high-contrast appearance under both daylight and actinic reef lighting.
Under blue-spectrum lighting, the green fluorescence becomes especially intense while the golden pigmentation produces a warm shimmering glow that gives the colony exceptional depth and dimension. Its structured branching form and colourful corallites make it an outstanding contrast piece within SPS-dominated reef aquariums.
As the colony matures, it develops dense colourful growth with strong daytime polyp extension and a highly textured appearance in turbulent flow. Like most premium Acropora, this coral performs best in mature stable reef systems with strong lighting and consistent alkalinity management.
