Green Goblin Anacropora: A Neon Gem for Your Reef Aquarium

Transform your reef with the dazzling ‘Green Goblin’ Anacropora! This exquisite SPS coral boasts vibrant neon green hues and a delicate branching structure, creating a captivating focal point in your marine display.

Overview

The ‘Green Goblin’ Anacropora (*Anacropora forbesi*) is a highly sought-after Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral, celebrated for its intense, almost glowing neon green coloration. Growing in slender, intricate branches, it forms a unique “briar patch” appearance, often likened to a branching Montipora or Birdsnest coral. Its delicate polyps extend when undisturbed, adding a soft texture to its rigid skeletal structure, retracting in response to water flow or potential threats.

Care Level

Considered an intermediate-level SPS coral, the ‘Green Goblin’ Anacropora thrives in mature, stable reef environments. It is generally peaceful, but its digestive strands can be aggressive towards nearby zoanthids and soft leather corals, requiring careful placement. Ensure tank mates are non-nipping and compatible to maintain this coral’s delicate health.

Tank Essentials

Provide a minimum tank size of 100 litres for a ‘Green Goblin’ frag, allowing ample space for future growth. This coral requires moderate to high lighting (200-400 PAR) and strong, indirect, and preferably randomized water flow to prevent detritus buildup and ensure nutrient delivery. Maintain stable water parameters for optimal health.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the ‘Green Goblin’ Anacropora relies on its symbiotic zooxanthellae algae for most nutritional needs. Supplement its diet occasionally with nano-zooplankton, rotifers, or amino acid solutions to encourage vibrant coloration and accelerated growth.
