Acropora desalwii is a striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and intricate branching structure. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy growth and acclimatisation to aquarium life.
Lighting: This species thrives under strong lighting, such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems, to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora desalwii is recommended for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality are crucial for the health and vibrant coloration of this coral.
