By day the colours sit fairly muted, but switch to blue actinic lighting and the raised eyes and contrasting rims come alive with fluorescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA015 grows as a flat, encrusting plate with a textured surface studded with raised corallites, often called 'eyes', and bold rims that contrast against the base colour. Echinophyllia aspera colonies can show anywhere from red, orange and pink through to green and blue, sometimes several of these tones within a single specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, this species colonises shaded reef slopes, walls and overhangs across the Indo-Pacific, where light is dimmer and water movement is gentle and indirect. Recreate this in your tank by placing AA015 in a shaded lower or side position, keeping it out of direct flow, which can irritate its comparatively thin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232725451043,"sku":"AA2167","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/CH8300015_133f4aeb-8197-4acf-bfab-b773ec6352a9.jpg?v=1788143836","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/chalice-coral-aa015-echinophyllia-aspera","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
