Acropora efflorescens is a beautiful small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching and vibrant hues. This frag is cultured and tank-bred, ensuring a healthy and sustainable addition to your reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under strong lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED or metal halide fixtures. Aim for PAR values between 250-400 to promote optimal growth and coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to mimic natural reef conditions and prevent detritus accumulation on the coral’s surface.
Placement: Position this frag in the upper to middle regions of the tank to ensure adequate light exposure and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and environmental changes, Acropora efflorescens is best suited for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods to support growth.
This frag is a cultured, tank-bred specimen, supporting sustainable reefkeeping practices.
