Gila Monster Acropora – Wild Contrast, Predator Vibes
The Gila Monster Acropora is as fierce and exotic as its namesake. With a fiery orange to peach base, deep violet branches, and neon green to yellow axial tips, this coral delivers jaw-dropping contrast and attitude in one tight, aggressive growth form. It’s one of those pieces that demands your attention, even in a tank full of heavy hitters.
When dialed in with high PAR and strong, chaotic flow, the Gila Monster puts on a show—its colors intensify, polyp extension improves, and the branching form develops with rugged, predatory elegance. It’s a favorite among SPS collectors who crave intensity and uniqueness.
