Acropora abrolhosensis is a stunning small-polyped stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate branching structure and vibrant colours. This tiny tank-bred specimen is ideal for marine aquarists looking to add a premium SPS coral to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support healthy growth and vibrant coloration. LED or T5 lighting systems designed for SPS corals work well.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote optimal health.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive adequate light and flow. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and overgrowth.
Care Level: Moderate. This species requires stable water parameters typical of SPS corals, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is reef safe but may engage in chemical or physical competition if placed too close to other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but may benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as coral foods or phytoplankton.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; typically grows in branching colonies.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger recommended to maintain stable water conditions.
