Representative Bubble coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
Tank-raised *Plerogyra* from ORA's Marshall Islands maricultured stock, prized for soft, pillow-like bubbles with fine lined striations that inflate around a tightly ridged skeleton. Colors run from light green to creamy beige, with a brighter 'Nuclear Green' selection also offered.
📜 Backstory
Distributed as 'Aquacultured Marshall Island Bubble Coral (Plerogyra sp.)' and 'Aquacultured Micronesian Bubble Coral' through ORA (Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums), resold via SaltwaterAquarium.com and LiveAquaria; ORA also lists a named 'MIMF Nuclear Green Bubble.' These are sustainably maricultured rather than a designer hobby morph, and Plerogyra's dense skeleton and slow growth keep cultured stock limited.
Keeper tips for this variant
As a maricultured piece it adapts well to aquarium conditions and tolerates a range of light and placement; still keep it on weak, indirect flow on the sandbed or a low ledge so the delicate bubbles can fully inflate, and mind its long, aggressive sweeper tentacles toward neighbors.
