Acropora hyacinthus is a popular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its striking, densely branched growth and vibrant colours. This tank-bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens ideal for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting: This species thrives under moderate to high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle sections of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are optimal. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry, as it requires stable water parameters and attentive maintenance.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to slower-growing or more sensitive corals.
Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is recommended to support skeletal growth. Frag size allows for easy placement and integration into established reef systems.
