The Acropora spp. (Green) is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid green coloration and intricate branching structure. This extra large specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarists looking to add a bold focal point to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora corals thrive under intense lighting, ideally provided by metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems. Aim for a PAR range of 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support healthy growth and vibrant colouration.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to mimic natural reef conditions and prevent detritus accumulation. Use multiple powerheads or wavemakers to create randomised currents around the coral.
Placement: Position the coral higher in the tank to ensure it receives adequate light and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water parameters and lighting, this coral is recommended for experienced hobbyists familiar with maintaining stable reef conditions.
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 that may cause tissue damage.
With proper care, this extra large green Acropora spp. will flourish, adding dynamic colour and structure to your marine aquarium.
