Acropora cytherea is a spectacular small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant hues. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy, sustainable addition to your reef tank.
Lighting: Requires strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to mimic natural reef conditions, helping to prevent detritus accumulation and promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position this frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Recommended for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry due to its sensitivity to water quality and environmental changes.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause tissue damage.
Adding Acropora cytherea to your marine aquarium offers a striking focal point and contributes to a thriving, diverse reef ecosystem.
