Acropora latistella (Pikachu) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its bright yellow and orange coloration reminiscent of the popular Pikachu character. This medium frag offers a vibrant focal point for mature reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or metal halide systems that support SPS coral growth.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to maintain coral health and prevent detritus accumulation around the branches.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure optimal light exposure and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Recommended for advanced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry due to its sensitivity to water quality and stability.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause tissue damage.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels suitable for SPS corals. Regular monitoring and dosing may be necessary to support growth.
