Acropora parilis is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant hues. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimatisation for marine aquarium environments.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora parilis thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 to support optimal photosynthesis and growth.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote gas exchange. Position the frag where it receives varied currents to mimic natural reef conditions.
Placement: Place this frag higher in the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting. Stable parameters and regular maintenance are critical for success.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable reef 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 overshadow or sting.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Enhance your marine aquarium with this cultured Acropora parilis frag, a beautiful addition for those dedicated to maintaining a vibrant and healthy reef system.
