Reef Raft Canada (RRC) Rainbow Splice

Reef Raft Canada (RRC) Rainbow Splice

RRC Rainbow Splice is a naturally grafted Acropora millepora introduced by Reef Raft Canada. Its story began with a pink millepora showing a tiny patch of fluorescent green pigmentation. Reef Raft isolated that branch tip and grew it into the now-famous yellow-green and raspberry-pink colony.

Read the original Rainbow Splice story from Reef Builders.

Mature growth can display fluorescent yellow and green tissue divided by streaks or sectors of pink, red and raspberry. The balance and placement of those colors will vary from frag to frag—because apparently even coral this expensive refuses to follow a template.

What to expect

This is a cut-to-order listing. The photographs show our Reef Culture Co. mother colony, not the exact frag you will receive.

Choose your color grade

• All green
• Mixed — approximately 30% red
• Balanced — approximately 50% red / 50% green
• Mostly red

All options are cut at approximately ¾ inch and healed for 2–3 weeks before shipping. Percentages are approximate visual targets—not laboratory measurements or guarantees of how the colors will distribute as the coral grows.

If the selected grade is not currently available from healthy colony growth, we will contact you rather than substitute a different grade.

Care

• Care level: Advanced
• Lighting: Medium-high to high; acclimate gradually
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent
• Placement: Middle to upper reef after acclimation
• Stability: Consistent alkalinity with measurable nutrients

Rainbow Splice earned its reputation by growing into something spectacular—not by looking fully mature five minutes after entering a new aquarium.
