The Indo Queen Acropora has a stunning color contrast with vibrant green polyps against a deep blue base. It grows slowly but maintains excellent coloration with proper lighting. I’ve had it for six months and it’s thriving in my reef tank with a high-output LED system.

Beautiful coral with a unique appearance. The branching structure is delicate and adds visual interest. I noticed it requires consistent lighting, but once set up, it’s very stable and colorful.
