Acropora spp. from the Coral Sea are among the most sought-after Small Polyp Stony (SPS) corals for marine reef aquariums. This Extra Large specimen offers a striking addition to mature reef tanks, showcasing intricate branching and vibrant colours typical of Acropora corals.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora spp. demand high-intensity lighting, such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems, to thrive and maintain their vivid pigmentation.
Water Flow: Provide strong, turbulent water flow to mimic natural reef conditions, which helps prevent detritus accumulation and supports coral health.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure optimal light exposure. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to their sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora spp. are recommended for experienced aquarists with stable, mature reef systems.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to prevent stress.
