Acropora subulata is a popular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its elegant, branching growth and vibrant hues. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Requires high-intensity lighting, ideally provided by metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems to support photosynthesis and vibrant colouration.
Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water movement to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery, helping to prevent detritus accumulation on the coral surface.
Placement: Position higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters typical for SPS corals, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and stable reef conditions are essential for long-term success. Fragging should be performed carefully to avoid stress.
