Acropora speciosa is a spectacular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its delicate, branching growth and vibrant colouration. This frag is cultivated under expert conditions by DJM, ensuring a healthy, acclimatised specimen ready for your reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 µmol/m²/s to promote optimal growth and colour vibrancy.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to support healthy tissue development. Position the frag where it will receive indirect but consistent water movement.
Placement: Place Acropora speciosa higher in the tank to benefit from intense lighting and good water circulation. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions and allow room for growth.
Care Level: This species is recommended for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting fluctuations. Maintain stable parameters with regular water testing and quality control.
Water Parameters: Maintain temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025-1.026 SG, 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 sting or overshadow it.
