Acropora abrolhosensis is a small, branching SPS coral known for its delicate structure and vibrant hues, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This species requires stable water parameters and optimal lighting to thrive.
Care Level
Moderate to advanced. Best suited for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements
High-intensity lighting is essential. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems that provide strong PAR values will support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow
Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to prevent detritus accumulation and promote gas exchange.
Placement
Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Provide sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.
Reef Compatibility
Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but may engage in chemical warfare or overgrowth if placed too close to other corals.
Diet
Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; supplemental feeding with coral-specific amino acids or planktonic foods can enhance growth.
Minimum Tank Size
Recommended minimum of 90 litres (20 gallons) to maintain stable water parameters and accommodate growth.
Origin
Not Provided
Maximum Size
Typically grows to approximately 10-15 cm in small colonies under optimal conditions.
