Acropora hyacinthus is a highly sought-after Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching and vibrant colours. This Tiny frag is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts with some experience in SPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under strong lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED or metal halide systems, to support its photosynthetic symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae).
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to ensure proper gas exchange, nutrient delivery, and to prevent detritus accumulation on the coral’s surface.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to maximise light exposure while ensuring it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and overgrowth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora hyacinthus is best suited to intermediate to advanced aquarists who maintain stable, pristine water conditions.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging or shading. Avoid placing near aggressive coral species.
Feeding: Primarily relies on photosynthesis but will benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows into large branching colonies under optimal conditions, but size varies depending on tank environment.
