Acropora selago is a highly sought-after SPS coral known for its elegant branching structure and vibrant colours, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy growth and acclimatisation to captive environments.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 to support optimal photosynthesis.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy polyp extension.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and tissue damage.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting fluctuations.
Tank Conditions: Maintain stable parameters with temperature between 24-26°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, and low nutrient levels (nitrates & phosphates) to prevent algae overgrowth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals that may overshadow or harm it.
Regular monitoring and consistent water quality are key to thriving Acropora selago frags in your marine aquarium.
