Acropora bifaria (Bright Green-Blue Tip) is a stunning SPS coral prized for its vivid green branches contrasted by electric blue tips. This species adds vibrant colour and intricate structure to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Requires strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LEDs to maintain its brilliant coloration and healthy growth.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to ensure optimal gas exchange and removal of detritus, which helps prevent tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle sections of the tank where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting changes. Stable parameters and regular monitoring are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to aggressive corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to moderate colony sizes depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 90 litres (24 gallons) or larger to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space.
