Acropora selago is a captivating small-sized SPS coral prized for its delicate branching and vibrant colours. This species is best suited to experienced reef keepers due to its specific care requirements.
Lighting: Requires strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to thrive and maintain its vivid pigmentation.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery while preventing detritus accumulation on its branches.
Placement: Position higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure, ensuring adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for healthy growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to aggressive coral species to prevent damage.
Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is recommended to support skeletal growth. Maintain pristine water quality with low nitrates and phosphates.
