📜 Backstory
Sold by name at Top Shelf Aquatics ('Green Ring Acanthophyllia Coral') as a WYSIWYG piece. It is a color-pattern descriptor applied to a single wild-collected colony rather than a cloned line; the green-ring phenotype is a common-enough collection variant to earn its own descriptor.
Keeper tips for this variant
Bottom/sand placement; the green ring fluoresces best under actinic-heavy lighting, so a bluer spectrum makes this morph pop. Gentle flow and weekly feeding.
