AA24 exhibits the deep, saturated colour palette typical of the species - reds, greens and oranges - with bright rims that contrast against the body colour. Growth habit is encrusting to mounding, and a healthy colony stays fully inflated without bleaching or tissue recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis species occurs naturally on Indo-Pacific and Australian reef slopes and flats, in water that tolerates more nutrients than a typical reef environment, under lower light and gentle flow. Match that in-tank with a shaded to moderately lit spot and gentle, indirect current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemi-aggressive by nature, it deploys short sweeper tentacles at night, so allow space between AA24 and its neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232725614883,"sku":"AA2820","price":295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/pachysepta-acan-aa24-acanthastrea-pachysepta","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
