Under blue light the tissue fluoresces in vivid electric greens with neon highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA01 displays thin, upright ridges, ruffled blades and spires that combine for a delicate, almost sculpted look. The coloration leans toward electric green, often set off by neon or contrasting valleys that really come alive under actinic lighting. On a healthy colony like this, the tissue stays intact and evenly coloured across every blade — any tearing or recession is a sign the coral is being exposed to too much flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough grouped commercially with the LPS corals, Pectinia is genuinely a large-polyp stony species in terms of husbandry. In the wild it colonises shaded reef slopes throughout the Indo-Pacific, favouring lower-to-moderate light and gentle water movement. Recreate this by placing AA01 in a shaded to moderately lit part of the tank with soft flow, since stronger currents can shred its thin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232714342691,"sku":"AA3326","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/pectinia-lettuce-carnation-aa01-pectinia-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
