Acropora yongei is a highly sought-after small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its striking branching growth and vibrant colouration. This Tank-Bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimatisation to aquarium life.
Lighting Requirements: Requires strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant colour retention.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent detritus accumulation on branches.
Placement: Position higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure while ensuring adequate water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry and stable reef tank parameters.
Tank Conditions: Maintain stable water parameters with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, 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 sting or overshadow.
This frag is an excellent addition to mature reef systems, offering both aesthetic appeal and ecological value. Regular monitoring and maintenance will ensure long-term success.
