Acropora digitifera is a beautiful small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its intricate digit-like branches and vibrant coloration. This frag is perfect for experienced marine aquarists looking to add a striking SPS specimen to their reef tank.
Lighting: This coral thrives under strong lighting conditions, ideally provided by high-quality LED, T5, or metal halide fixtures. Aim for intense PAR levels to support healthy growth and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote optimal gas exchange. Randomised turbulent flow is preferred over direct strong currents to avoid tissue damage.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora digitifera is best suited for advanced hobbyists with stable reef systems.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality, along with supplementation of essential elements, will support healthy growth and vibrant colours.
