{"product_id":"carnation-tree-coral-aa01-dendronephthya-sp","title":"Carnation \/ Tree Coral AA01 | Dendronephthya sp.","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its native range across the Indo-Pacific, Dendronephthya sp. lives on shaded walls, overhangs and channels swept by strong current. It is completely non-photosynthetic, meaning specimen AA01 has no symbiotic algae to fall back on and gains nothing from aquarium lighting — its survival depends on a constant, current-driven supply of plankton. Replicating a shaded position with strong, unrelenting flow is essential, and even then this species is regarded as one of the hardest corals to keep long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Carnation \/ Tree Coral is as demanding as it is beautiful, and AA01 is no exception: its blooms come in brilliant reds, pinks and whites, but this non-photosynthetic showpiece is recommended for dedicated, experienced keepers only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA01 grows as a tree-like colony of translucent, spicule-supported branches densely covered in colourful polyps spanning red, pink, orange and white. When conditions are right and the coral is healthy, those polyps open fully, giving the colony a vivid, glowing presence in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232764576035,"sku":"BA8183","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/carnation-tree-coral-aa01-dendronephthya-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
