The Watermelon Micromussa is a vibrant, high-contrast LPS coral that delivers bold coloration and rich texture in a compact colony. Each fleshy polyp features a glowing watermelon-pink center surrounded by electric teal-green outer tissue, creating a striking color combination that pops dramatically under actinic lighting.

The neon green rims form a textured, almost beaded pattern around each polyp, while the hot pink mouths glow intensely from within — giving the coral that classic “watermelon” look collectors love. Under blue spectrum lighting, the contrast becomes even more dramatic as the pink centers burn bright and the surrounding emerald tones deepen into rich teal.

As the colony grows, the polyps expand into a tight cluster that creates a full, layered appearance with incredible depth and color variation. When fully inflated, the fleshy tissue gives the piece a plush, almost jewel-like texture that makes it stand out in any LPS collection.

💡 Care Tips:

•  Lighting: Low–moderate PAR (50–120) to maintain vibrant coloration
• Flow: Low to moderate, gentle flow to keep tissue inflated without stress
• Placement: Lower to mid-level in the aquarium with room to expand
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods or reef roids for faster growth
