Marvin the Martian Acropora is a bold and other-worldly SPS coral that immediately grabs attention with its vivid palette and sculptural growth. The branches usually start with a bright lime to neon-green base, festooned with intensely fluorescent green or chartreuse polyps, and often capped with glittering blue or turquoise tips that practically glow under blue-spectrum lighting.  The form tends toward compact, upright branching with crisp axial tips, giving the coral both structure and drama in a display. To bring out its best colours, place it under high PAR lighting and in an area of strong, random flow, and maintain stable water parameters typical of premium SPS. The contrast between the fluorescent green base and vivid tip colours gives Marvin the Martian its signature “alien species” look—perfect for making a statement in a high-end reef system.
