A delicate branching Acropora with a pearlescent white-to-lavender background, greenish corallites and lavender tips that can fluoresce under actinic light.
📜 Backstory
A signature ORA (Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums) aquacultured strain that most resembles *Acropora desalwii*, though ORA never made a positive species ID. Sold widely (LiveAquaria, Top Shelf Aquatics, AlgaeBarn and others); because several look-alikes circulate, buyers are urged to seek traceable lineage.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give it bright light and place it high with moderate-to-strong flow; under good conditions it grows quickly. Keep parameters stable as it establishes.
