Our Premium Large Acropora Coral Pack includes 20 carefully selected specimens, ideal for advanced marine aquarium enthusiasts aiming to cultivate a vibrant and healthy SPS coral reef. Acropora corals are prized for their striking branching formations and vivid colours, making them a standout feature in any reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora corals require strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support their photosynthetic needs. Aim for an intensity of 250-400 PAR to ensure optimal growth and colouration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to facilitate nutrient exchange. Position corals where water movement is variable but consistent.
Placement: Place these corals higher in the tank to maximise light exposure. Maintain adequate spacing between colonies to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Advanced. Acropora corals are sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require stable parameters including temperature (24-26°C), salinity (1.025-1.026 SG), and low nutrient levels.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is recommended to support skeletal development. Avoid placing near aggressive coral species to prevent tissue damage.
