We love LPS corals, especially huge, fluffy, wildly colored ones. That’s why we’re featuring this sexy Acanthophyllia for our Pic of the Week, which sports some awesome maroon, orange, and green coloration arranged in vertical striations. What we love about this genera of coral is the Acanthophyllia’s ability to get big, really really big. Add on all those crazy colors, and you’ve got an instant showpiece with virtually every specimen that shows up at the fish stores. Of course, being as large as it is, this coral needs some serious space in the aquarium and is often relegated to the sand bed of most aquariums.
