This brings out coral fluorescence for photography, but your own tank's lighting and spectrum will affect how the coral looks once it's home, so a different shade under your lights is normal and doesn't reflect the coral's health. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/educational-center\/why-your-coral-might-look-different-at-home-a-guide-to-coral-photography-lighting\"\u003eLearn more about coral colour and lighting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWA and TAS orders:\u003c\/strong\u003e State biosecurity regulations restrict which live corals can be sent to Western Australia and Tasmania.

Replicate that in the tank with a mature, settled system, subdued to moderate light, gentle flow, and placement mid-water or directly on the sandbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA002 sends out long, flowing polyps, each stalk crowned with twelve tentacles, in shades that may include green, gold, cream or pink, forming the soft daisy-field look the genus is known for. Watch for full extension of the polyps during the day as the clearest indicator of good health; retraction that persists, or any tissue loss on the underlying skeleton, is cause for concern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55652006920483,"sku":"AA5598","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/AV9250002-20K.jpg?v=1790313825"}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/collections\/alveopora.oembed","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
