📜 Backstory
'Pikachu' is a pop-culture trade name for vivid yellow Acropora, most often a microclados-type rather than a tenuis. The trade applies the name across more than one species and there is documented confusion about exact identity, so the precise species/lineage of any given 'Pikachu' should be treated as uncertain. Its vivid yellow keeps it a premium piece.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give high light and turbulent flow to hold the electric yellow body; it prefers exposed, well-lit placement.
