🧬 Overview
The “Purple Fingers Gold” Acropora is a bold SPS morph combining strong structure with high-contrast coloration. Its thick, finger-like branches give it a powerful architectural presence, while the glowing gold tips add energy and highlight active growth.
This contrast becomes especially striking under blue lighting, where the tips radiate and the base takes on a deep, velvety tone. As the coral grows, new golden tips emerge across the structure, enhancing both brightness and complexity.
A perfect centrepiece SPS for advanced reef systems looking for both structure and colour contrast.
🧾 WYSIWYG
You will receive the exact frag shown in the photo, selected for colour contrast, branch integrity and overall health.
Selected for:
• Deep purple/violet base coloration
• Bright golden growth tips
• Thick “finger” branch structure
• Strong high-contrast visual profile
• Collector-grade WYSIWYG specimen
🍽️ Care & Feeding
