Acropora robusta is a striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its robust growth and vibrant colours. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens ideal for experienced marine aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora robusta thrives under strong lighting, such as high-output LED, T5, or metal halide systems. Aim for intense PAR levels between 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus settling and to promote healthy tissue growth. Position the frag where it receives variable currents to mimic natural reef conditions.
Placement: Place this frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure adequate light and flow. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for healthy expansion.
Care Level: This species requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance. It is best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral care.
Water Parameters: Maintain 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 for optimal growth.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Acropora robusta is reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause tissue damage.
Origin: Not Provided (cultured specimen)
Maximum Size: Typically grows to 20-30 cm in well-maintained reef tanks over time.
