Acropora aculeus is a striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching and vibrant hues. This frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy, acclimatised specimen suitable for established marine aquariums.
Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or T5 systems designed for reef tanks. Intense lighting promotes optimal growth and vivid colouration.
Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water movement to mimic natural reef conditions, which helps prevent detritus accumulation and supports respiration.
Placement: Position higher in the tank to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may overgrow or sting.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
This frag is a cultured specimen, grown sustainably to reduce wild collection impact and improve acclimatisation success.
