Acropora jacquelineae is a beautiful small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate branching and vibrant colours. This tiny frag is ideal for experienced marine aquarists looking to add a premium SPS coral to their reef tank.
Lighting: Requires strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED to thrive and maintain vibrant colours.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery while preventing detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position higher in the tank to receive optimal light intensity. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Advanced. Acropora jacquelineae demands stable water parameters, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (approximately 24 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water conditions.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality are essential to keep this coral healthy and vibrant.
