Red Planet

A tabling Acropora with a metallic green base and deep red-to-pink corallites and polyps, with light pink-to-white new growth.

📜 Backstory

Best known as an ORA-cultured strain (also sold widely by many other vendors). Multiple 'Red Planet' lineages circulate and hobbyists debate how much of the extreme red is wild versus captive coloration, so the original collector is origin debated; the ORA aquacultured line is the most traceable.

Keeper tips for this variant

Mount up high for strong light and flow; the red corallites darken and the green base brightens under high PAR.
