Acropora abrotanoides is a highly sought-after small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its dense, branching growth and attractive colouration. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support healthy growth and vibrant colours.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote gas exchange. Avoid direct, constant blasts that may cause tissue damage.
Placement: Position Acropora abrotanoides higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy expansion.
Care Level: This species is recommended for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters typical of SPS coral husbandry, including consistent alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may overgrow or sting.
Water Parameters: Maintain temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, and stable pH around 8.1-8.4. Regular testing and supplementation are advised to support optimal coral health.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Enhance your marine aquarium with this premium Acropora abrotanoides extra large coral, perfect for creating a vibrant and dynamic reef display.
