Overview
The Green Slimer Acropora is a classic. Known for its intense neon green coloration and thick, fast-growing branches, this hardy SPS coral adds instant impact to any tank. Under blue and white light, its glowing green hue truly "slimes" its way into the spotlight, making it one of the most recognizable Acros in the hobby.
Its growth is upright and robust, forming dense vertical branches that can quickly become a dominant feature in your reef. The Green Slimer is often recommended for SPS beginners because of its relative resilience, yet it's still a staple in even the most advanced coral collections.
