Acropora jacquelineae is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching and vivid coloration. This frag is cultivated through DJM’s expert propagation techniques, ensuring a healthy and robust specimen suitable for advanced reef aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under moderate to high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Adequate lighting is essential to support its photosynthetic symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae).
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water movement is recommended to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure sufficient light exposure and water flow. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and tissue damage.
Care Level: This coral requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance, making it suitable for experienced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is reef safe but can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral-specific foods such as phytoplankton or amino acid supplements.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth. Regular water testing and quality control are essential for long-term health.
