By day the tones stay understated, but switch to blue light and the raised eyes and contrasting rims ignite with fluorescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEchinophyllia aspera naturally colonises shaded reef slopes, walls and overhangs across the Indo-Pacific, spreading into encrusting or laminar plates wherever light is dim and flow gentle. Recreate this at home by tucking AA22 into a shaded lower or side position; strong direct flow can irritate its thin tissue, so keep movement indirect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a flat, encrusting growth form with a textured surface, studded by raised corallite \"eyes\" and often finished with a dramatic contrasting rim. Colouration spans red, orange and pink through to green and blue, and it's common for several of these hues to appear together within a single colony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232713621795,"sku":"AA2854","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/chalice-coral-aa22-echinophyllia-aspera","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
