Reef Culture Co. Deepwater Flex Series
Dark, dangerous, and dripping in attitude — JF Frankie’s Neophobia is a moody masterpiece from the twisted mind of Jason Fox. This Acropora is a heavy-hitter in the deepwater scene, flaunting burgundy to maroon base tones, indigo blue tips, and golden-yellow polyp mouths that look like they’re staring straight into your soul.
It’s one of those corals that doesn’t scream for attention — it just owns it. Under high PAR, the contrast tightens and the tips glow with a ghostly blue haze. Under blues? It’s velvet darkness with attitude.
This is a collector’s piece with presence — the kind of Acro you don’t just “add” to your reef… you design around it.
Frags are cut to order at approximately ¾” and healed for 2–3 weeks before shipping — because sinister beauty takes time.
