WYSIWYG

🌊 Overview
This Orange Creamsicle Acropora (Acropora sp.) is a standout SPS coral featuring a soft peach base with bright orange polyps and icy white axial tips. Under high PAR, the coral develops a creamy gradient that lives up to its name. Perfect for collectors seeking a warm‑tone contrast piece in their SPS‑dominant reef.
