📜 Backstory

Nuclear Green is one of the most common and recognizable named palys, a hobby workhorse that propagates fast and is widely distributed. Its ubiquity and hardiness make it a beginner favorite rather than a collector piece. The name is descriptive of the intense green and is not tied to a single proprietary lineage.

Keeper tips for this variant

Easy across a wide range of light and flow; give it room to spread since it encrusts aggressively over rock.
