Stock-Photo Coral
This is NOT A WYSIWYG listing, but we make it as close to one as possible. The photograph shows either the exact mother colony from which your coral originates or a representative frag displaying the size and presentation standard you can expect to receive.
In both cases, your coral comes from the exact named lineage shown. Every piece is individually selected and fully conditioned before shipping. Because coral is living and continually growing, natural differences in shape and growth may occur.

How to acclimate Aussi Green Slimer Acropora
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.

- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
Aussi Green Slimer Acropora care questions
Where should I place Aussi Green Slimer Acropora?
Start at Middle to upper reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does Aussi Green Slimer Acropora need?
Use Strong, random flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed Aussi Green Slimer Acropora?
Recommended frequency: Optional, up to weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
