  Special Requirements and Information:
Get out your Geiger Counter for this gorgeous Acro. Lime Green and yellow branches with neon yellow tentacles.
Sometimes called Staghorn Corals when they're allowed to grow out, these Acros require the best of water flow and lighting conditions. Initially place them away from your light source until they've acclimated and then move them to where they can gather the most light available.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Steady and regular feeding of zooplankton will maintain great polyp health which, of course, will be a major benefit the coral. Supplement with strontium, calcium and magnesium.
Can be aggressive towards their neighbors, so give them sufficient room. If properly cared for the arms increase in number and will extend toward the light
