Green Slimer Acropora – Fast Growth, Bold Glow, Classic SPS Icon
The Green Slimer Acropora (Acropora yongei) is a legendary SPS coral prized for its electric green coloration, thick finger-like branches, and rapid growth in stable systems. It’s ideal for filling space, building vertical structure, and adding glow to SPS-dominated tanks.
Coral Highlights:
🟢 Neon Green Branches – Glows intensely under actinics
💪 Thick, Upright Growth – Great for top-tier aquascapes and flow splitting
🧪 Slime Defense – Produces protective mucus when disturbed (normal)
💡 Lighting: High PAR (250–400) – brighter light deepens green and supports growth
Placement: Upper rockwork with space for upward branching
Feeding: Mostly photosynthetic; benefits from amino acids and powdered coral foods for growth
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced – Excellent choice for growing confidence with Acros
📦 Note: Frags are not WYSIWYG. Each piece develops the same vibrant coloration and sturdy growth pattern as the mother colony under proper reef conditions.
