Strawberry Shortcake Acropora Coral, vibrant red polyps and corallites contrasted by the brilliant high lighter yellow / green of the body

not much info online, the coral is new to hobby
imported colonies have been coming in from Australia
i have seen and compared about 30 different pieces
it grows in clump-fist shape to tables according to flow

it grows well under t5,mh and led

newer branches in my tank are very yellow with pink coralites

reacts well to feeding zooplankton and medium.moderate diffused flow

i was looking at my red planet which is kinda in color recovery mode right now and i would say in a faded out kinda way it looks like a strawberry shortcake in a way. but i know its red planet because i saw it before it got a faded out during the tank move.

Pretty strong and fast grower. People have been able to keep the color or color is back up from brown out.
