{"product_id":"cyphastrea-aa03-cyphastrea-sp","title":"Cyphastrea AA03 | Cyphastrea sp.","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecimen AA03 is an encrusting LPS coral with a soft, starry texture, its surface studded with tiny polyps in bold neon 'meteor shower' greens and oranges. It ranks among the more forgiving large-polyp corals available, tolerant of a wider range of conditions than most LPS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Cyphastrea spreads across Indo-Pacific reef slopes and into shaded crevices, coping well with reduced light and moderate nutrient levels. Reproduce this in the aquarium with low-to-moderate lighting and gentle-to-moderate flow, positioning the coral in the lower or mid sections of the aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA03 grows as an encrusting sheet, its surface dotted with small, evenly spaced corallites that give it a starry, textured look. The classic 'meteor shower' effect is on show here: a dark base punctuated by glowing green or orange polyps, spreading evenly as the colony encrusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerally a peaceful grower, Cyphastrea does best with a little breathing room from its neighbours, as it can extend sweeper tentacles after dark. Given adequate spacing, it is a low-maintenance, reef-safe addition to most systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232714211619,"sku":"AA3330","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/cyphastrea-aa03-cyphastrea-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
