Acropora sarmentosa is a striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant colours. This Tank-Bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and acclimatised specimen ready for established reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This species requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Lighting: Strong lighting is essential to support photosynthesis and maintain vibrant colouration. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are recommended.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is necessary to prevent detritus accumulation and promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth conflicts.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to maintain stable water conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to moderate colony sizes depending on tank conditions.
Regular monitoring of water parameters including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is recommended to support skeletal growth. This frag is ideal for hobbyists with some SPS coral experience looking to expand their collection with a visually impressive species.
