Acropora loisetteae | T

Acropora loisetteae is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its intricate branching and vibrant hues, making it a prized addition to mature reef tanks. This tiny, tank-bred specimen ensures better acclimation and sustainability compared to wild-caught corals.

Lighting: Requires strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LEDs to support photosynthesis and maintain vibrant coloration.

Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent detritus accumulation on its delicate branches.

Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where lighting and flow conditions are optimal. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow growth.

Care Level: Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and SPS coral husbandry.

Tank Requirements: Maintain stable water chemistry with parameters typical for SPS corals: calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, magnesium 1250-1350 ppm, and low nutrient levels.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.

Adding Acropora loisetteae to your reef tank offers a spectacular display of colour and structure, rewarding careful husbandry with healthy growth and vibrant appearance.
