Acropora spp. (Coral Sea) Ultra Special Selected – Extra Large is a premium selection of Small Polyp Stony (SPS) corals prized for their vibrant colours and intricate branching structures. Sourced from the Coral Sea, these specimens are chosen for their exceptional health and aesthetic appeal, making them a prized addition to mature reef aquariums.
Care Level: This coral is best suited for experienced aquarists due to its specific husbandry requirements.
Lighting Requirements: High-intensity lighting is essential to support photosynthesis and maintain vibrant pigmentation. Metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems are recommended.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water movement is ideal to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery while preventing sediment accumulation.
Placement: Position this Acropora in the upper to middle regions of the tank to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
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 species that may cause damage.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional supplementation with planktonic foods or coral-specific feeds can promote growth and vibrancy.
Additional Notes: Due to the genus-level identification (spp.), care should be conservative and closely monitored. Regular water testing and stable parameters are critical for success.
