Acropora robusta is a spectacular species of Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral, renowned for its sturdy, thick branches and vivid colouration that can add impressive structure and vibrancy to mature reef aquariums. This extra large specimen is perfect for experienced marine aquarists looking to enhance their SPS coral collection with a robust and visually striking coral.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Providing a PAR range of 250-400 µmol/m²/s will support optimal growth and colour development.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy tissue growth. Aim for turbulent, indirect flow rather than direct blasts to avoid tissue damage.
Placement: Position Acropora robusta higher in the tank to ensure it receives adequate light and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow room for growth.
Care Level: This species is best suited to advanced hobbyists with stable, mature reef systems. Consistent water parameters and regular monitoring are crucial for success.
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 or those with long sweeper tentacles.
Enhance your reef tank with this impressive Acropora robusta extra large coral, a true centrepiece for SPS enthusiasts.
