This easy to keep Reef Building Stony Coral has a green color and its branch tips can become bluish. It grows extremely fast and it is a medium thick true staghorn. It is a very good starter coral. Similar to the Bali green slimer but this coral does not produce the large amounts of 'slime' that the Bali green slimer does. The polyps are extended during the day and are greenish yellow colored. It retains color very easily.
