Recreate that with a shaded or moderately lit position and gentle, indirect flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts name comes from the thick septa\/corallite walls that set it apart from thinner-walled Acans. AA25 carries the deep, saturated red, green and orange tones common to the species, finished with bright contrasting rims around each corallite. Growth is encrusting to mounding, and a healthy colony will be fully inflated with no bleaching or tissue loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it room - this is a semi-aggressive coral that puts out short sweeper tentacles at night to sting anything growing too close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232723976483,"sku":"AA2821","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/pachysepta-acan-aa25-acanthastrea-pachysepta","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
