{"product_id":"toxic-green-turbinaria","title":"Toxic Green Turbinaria","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurbinaria corals, often called scroll or cup corals, are a classic Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral in the reef aquarium hobby. This particular specimen is a vibrant green variety, commonly known as a Toxic Green Turbinaria. It offers a unique growth form that contrasts well with the branching and mounding shapes of other corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a home reef, Turbinaria typically grows in a plating or scrolling formation, creating a thin, delicate-looking skeleton that expands outwards from its base. The surface is covered in small, distinct polyps that extend for feeding. This piece has a solid green base colour, and its polyps will likely present as a similar or slightly different shade, adding subtle texture to its surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best care, provide moderate lighting in the 100-200 PAR range, as high light can cause bleaching. Water flow should also be moderate and indirect, just enough to prevent detritus from settling on its plate-like surface. Place it in the middle to upper regions of the rockwork, ensuring it has plenty of room to expand. While photosynthetic, it will benefit from occasional spot-feeding. Maintain stable water parameters with calcium around 400-450 ppm and alkalinity between 8-12 dKH. It is a peaceful coral but can produce short sweeper tentacles, so leave a few inches between it and other corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique plating structure of a Turbinaria can create interesting visual layers and overhangs in an aquascape. This can provide shaded areas below for lower-light corals or invertebrates. It is a steady grower under stable conditions and makes a great addition for hobbyists looking to add structural diversity to their reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42359290527799,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260807-Z0ZX","price":175.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/c934b986-476d-4b8c-87ab-d9178c0d97b0-_MG_4462.png?v=1786135440","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/toxic-green-turbinaria","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
