Acropora turaki is a beautiful small-polyped stony coral (SPS) known for its fine branching structure and vibrant hues, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This listing is for a tiny frag, perfect for aquarists looking to cultivate this species in a controlled environment.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora turaki thrives under intense lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED or metal halide fixtures. Aim for a PAR range of 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong water movement is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to facilitate gas exchange. Ensure turbulent, indirect flow to mimic natural reef conditions without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure, while maintaining adequate distance from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and ensure optimal growth space.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity, Acropora turaki is best suited for experienced hobbyists who maintain stable water parameters and perform regular water testing and maintenance.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-26°C, salinity at 1.025 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth. Avoid placing near aggressive corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to medium colony size over time, depending on tank conditions.
