Overview

'Green Slimer' is a widely aquacultured lineage traded as Acropora yongei; its bright green, fast growth and hardiness have made it the classic 'beginner Acropora'. Keep it under moderate-to-strong light and flow; it grows rapidly in clean water. It is named for the copious slime it releases when disturbed. As a trade name, we treat it here as a lineage.
