Enhance your reef aquarium with this Coral Pack of 5 Medium Common Acropora specimens, renowned for their striking branching structures and vibrant colours. Acropora corals are a cornerstone of SPS (Small Polyp Stony) coral collections, prized for their fast growth and intricate forms.
Lighting: These corals require strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems to thrive and display their full colour potential.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy polyp extension.
Placement: Position these corals higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure, while maintaining sufficient space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and ensure optimal growth.
Care Level: Due to their sensitivity, Acropora corals are best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists with stable water parameters and experience maintaining SPS corals.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is recommended to provide a stable environment.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions 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.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality are crucial for the health and growth of Acropora corals.
