Mattv Rainbow Envy Acropora
The MattV Rainbow Envy Acropora lives up to its name. There are so many colors it is hard to believe it actual exists. I recommend putting it in high light to tease out all the different shades of color.

We recommend starting the Mattv Rainbow Envy Acropora in the 300 - 400 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate to High
Moderate to High
Provide Moderate to High variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Acropora. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Upper level
Placement of your Mattv Rainbow Envy Acropora is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 300 - 400 PAR range it will need to be mounted Upper level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Bushy growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
