The Acropora spp. (Coral Sea) Ultra Special Selected is a tiny, tank-bred SPS coral prized for its vibrant colours and intricate branching structure. Originating from the Coral Sea, this ultra premium coral is carefully selected for superior health and growth potential, making it an excellent choice for experienced marine aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora corals demand strong, stable lighting to thrive. High-intensity LED, T5, or metal halide lighting is recommended to support photosynthesis and maintain vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and promote healthy tissue growth. Aim for varied flow patterns rather than constant direct blasts.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure optimal light exposure and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for healthy expansion.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity, this Acropora is best suited for advanced hobbyists with stable, mature reef systems.
Tank Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing species that may overshadow or damage it.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality, combined with appropriate feeding of coral supplements or planktonic foods, will support optimal health and vibrant growth.
