Needle in the Haystack Acropora – Rare Detail, Piercing Color

The Needle in the Haystack Acro is a true collector’s gem—featuring a warm golden-tan to copper base densely packed with electric neon green polyps that sparkle like scattered jewels. Each branch is tipped with soft pastel hues, often showing hints of pink, mint, or cream, making this coral feel like a rare find hiding in plain sight.

Its fine, delicate branching adds architectural balance to heavier Acros, while the color contrast gives it a bold presence even in mature SPS displays. Under high PAR and strong, randomized flow, it develops excellent polyp extension and clean, crisp axial growth.
