The Anacropora spp. (Green Goblin) frag is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid green coloration and intricate branching morphology. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy growth and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is essential to support photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of approximately 150-250 µmol/m²/s are recommended.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes polyp extension. Avoid direct blast flow which may cause tissue damage.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle sections of the aquarium to receive optimal light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Due to its delicate nature and specific husbandry needs, this coral is best suited for intermediate to advanced reef aquarists.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. The Anacropora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and requires room to expand without contact.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but may benefit from occasional targeted feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or amino acid supplements.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters typical for SPS corals: temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.025-1.026, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm. Regular water changes and monitoring are advised to ensure optimal health.
