Acropora jacquelineae | L

Acropora jacquelineae is a visually striking SPS coral prized for its delicate branching structure and vibrant hues, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This large specimen requires stable water parameters and optimal husbandry to thrive.

Lighting Requirements: High-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LEDs is essential to support photosynthesis and maintain vivid coloration.

Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water movement is recommended to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery, helping to prevent detritus accumulation on the coral’s surface.

Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions and allow room for growth.

Care Level: Advanced. Acropora jacquelineae demands consistent water quality, including stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals that may overshadow or damage it.

Regular monitoring and maintenance of water parameters, combined with a nutrient-balanced environment, will help this coral flourish and display its full natural beauty.
