🧬 Overview
The “Green Yellow Tip” Acropora is a classic high-contrast SPS coral, combining bright base coloration with glowing growth tips. Its clean colour palette makes it a powerful visual anchor in SPS-dominated systems, especially when placed among more complex or multi-colour corals.
Under blue spectrum lighting, the fluorescence becomes highly pronounced, with the coral appearing almost electric. The yellow tips emphasise growth and add a dynamic, evolving look as the coral develops new branches.
Reliable, vibrant and visually striking, this coral is a staple for both collectors and reef builders.
🧾 Selection Note
You will receive a frag similar to the photo, selected for colour intensity, tip definition and overall health.
Selected for:
• Bright neon-green base
• Intense yellow/golden growth tips
• Strong fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Clean, high-contrast colour profile
• Excellent growth potential in stable systems
🍽️ Care & Feeding
