Our Premium Acropora Coral Pack features five medium-sized specimens of Acropora, one of the most sought-after genera of Small Polyp Stony (SPS) corals. Known for their striking branching structures and vivid colours, Acropora corals are a stunning addition to any mature reef aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Acropora corals require stable water parameters and consistent maintenance to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: High-intensity lighting is essential. Metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems that provide strong PAR levels will support optimal growth and coloration.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to mimic natural reef conditions and prevent detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position these corals higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefit from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Acropora corals can be sensitive to chemical warfare from neighbouring corals, so careful placement is important.
Additional Notes: Regular water testing and stable parameters (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium) are crucial for long-term health. This pack is ideal for aquarists with some SPS experience looking to diversify their coral collection.
