The Nuclear Green Paly (Palythoa sp., often classified under Palythoa grandis or similar lineages) are a wildly popular, aquacultured strain of colonial soft corals in the reef aquarium hobby, nicknamed "Nuke Greens" for their blindingly intense neon glow that dominates any display, offering an effortless burst of color for beginners and pros alike.
Structure: Forms dense, low-profile mats of interconnected polyps that encrust and spread across rocks or plugs in a carpet-like fashion, with each polyp typically 0.5-1 cm in diameter and featuring short stalks that shorten under higher light for a flatter profile.
Coloration: Uniformly vivid neon green oral disks and skirts that appear almost yellow under blue or actinic lighting, creating a supercharged, fluorescent explosion; the simplicity of the single-hue design makes it a standout when mixed with contrasting zoas like Purple Deaths.
Size and Growth: Sold as 3-5 polyp frags, they exhibit extremely fast, aggressive growth via fission, potentially overtaking sizable rock sections in weeks to months—less invasive than some palys but still a prolific expander.
Sold in 3-5 Polyps
