Acropora bifaria (Bright Yellow) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid yellow coloration and intricate branching structure. This coral is suitable for experienced marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef display with a vibrant and dynamic specimen.
Lighting: Requires moderate to high-intensity lighting, ideally provided by LED, T5, or metal halide systems to support optimal growth and coloration.
Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water flow to ensure effective nutrient exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation within its branches.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle sections of the aquarium to receive adequate light and flow. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions and to allow room for growth.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for long-term health.
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 but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended minimum of 75 litres to provide stable water conditions and adequate space.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in branching height under optimal conditions.
