Like the neon-green strain but with a flat, encrusting growth form (an encrusting **Pavona maldivensis**) and an even brighter green coloration that hugs the rock rather than branching.

Keeper tips for this variant
Excellent for encrusting over a rock face or covering a frag plug — give it medium light and let it spread; it grows fast and has sweeper tentacles, so mind placement.
