Blue lighting brings out its best - a glow of reds, greens and neon-rimmed polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA016's corallites carry the thick, heavy walls that gave this species its name, wrapped in deeply saturated reds, greens and oranges with bright, contrasting rim colouration. The colony encrusts and mounds over time. A thriving specimen fully inflates its tissue with no bleached patches or recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Indo-Pacific and Australian reefs, this species is found across slopes and flats in moderately nutrient-rich water, thriving under lower light and gentle flow. Aim to replicate that for AA016 with a shaded to moderately lit placement and gentle, indirect current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote the semi-aggressive nature of this coral - short, night-active sweeper tentacles mean AA016 needs breathing room from its tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55555480912163,"sku":"AA5095","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/PA904001_70b49325-dda1-4b54-91d1-f66b20ad449b.jpg?v=1788481769","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/pachysepta-acan-aa016-acanthastrea-pachysepta","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
