Acropora spp. (Coral Sea) – Large Ultra is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching and vibrant colours. Originating from the Coral Sea, this ultra-grade specimen is suited for experienced marine aquarists aiming to enhance their reef tanks with high-quality SPS corals.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora spp. demands intense lighting, ideally provided by high-output LED, T5, or metal halide systems to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to mimic natural reef conditions, prevent detritus accumulation, and promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure it receives sufficient light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: This coral requires stable water parameters, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels, as well as pristine water quality. Regular monitoring and maintenance are critical for success.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent stinging or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Additional Notes: Due to the genus-level identification (spp.), care guidance is conservative. This coral is best suited for advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
