Its surface encrusts in swirling patterns of red, green and orange that fluoresce under blue light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colony forms a flat, encrusting plate marked by a textured surface, raised corallites, and a bright contrasting rim across shades of red, orange, green and pink, all of which pop under actinic lighting. A healthy colony maintains smooth, fully coloured tissue with no white or receding edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Oxypora grows on shaded reef slopes and walls throughout the Indo-Pacific, forming thin encrusting plates under low light and gentle indirect flow. AA008 does best in a comparably shaded lower or side position, kept clear of direct high flow that could damage its thin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232769196323,"sku":"BA9177","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/P8280055_62f7b0b8-7d2c-422f-9bcb-e4ce9aba6a20.jpg?v=1787900288","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/oxypora-chalice-aa008-oxypora-sp","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
