This small polyp stony (SPS) coral, often called &#8220;Lettuce Coral&#8221; or &#8220;Cactus Coral,&#8221; offers a unique texture to reef aquariums. It is a hardy species, making it a good choice for aquarists transitioning into SPS corals. Its polyps are small and typically extend at night, though some variants may show daytime extension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beginner to Intermediate. The Ultra Green Pavona is known for its hardiness and tolerance to water parameter fluctuations compared to other SPS corals, making it a forgiving choice for less experienced reef keepers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Provide stable conditions with a temperature of 22-27\u00b0C (71.6\u201380.6\u00b0F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a salinity of 1.023-1.026.
