acropora

What can anyone tell me about this coral? Based on my limited research it could be Acropora carduus, but information I've found is either contradictory (needs high light or is a deep water coral and is fine in medium light) or sparse. I have an XR 15 blue and was planning to keep it near the top...

Hello I recently detected some acroporas with blenching from the base Colud you identify if it are stn or maybe someone is eating my corals? alk:7.3 Mg: 1250 Ca:500 pO4: .17

This is mine after 7 months of growth under radion g5 pros running AB+ for 9 hours a day with roughly an hour ramp up and down. As you can see, its mostly red/brown with a green/yellow base. Is this coloration normal? and here it is 7 months ago when I first got it.

I recently a month ago removed a very aggressive colony. All that was left were skeletal remains from incrustation. Today I noticed it is coloring up and birthing polyps. Has anyone experienced this? There was zero zooxanthellae left after the surgery. Just curious if any of you pros can explain.

Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody keeps Tenuis Acros in the 200 par range and still get good PE and color?

Par database with tank builds, specially acropora-dominant, under LED lights Hi folks, I believe this is a REALLY cloudy topic. Most of @Dana Riddle ’s amazing articles have shown that 250-350 PAR is pretty adequate for most Acropora. On the other hand we have seen many extreme PAR (800ish)...

I made a mistake around Thanksgiving of last year with my main display and allowed my specific gravity to go up to 1.029 for about 3 days. Thanks to a miscalibrated refractometer, I lost a couple of Acropora frags and had 2 brown out. Fortunately, the 2 that browned are in full recovery mode...

Hi there, i have trouble find the issue with this acro that have never had PE in 1 month and a half, here some pics after the first week, i have at that time dipped in ReVive 5 minutes and the glueled on a new plug (at night with a white light): This is from couples of days ago (hard to...

I’m intrigued why my Tortuosa Turcoise is developing a certain color... It came from aquaculture under T5 in a tank with very low nutrients. It is with me for 7months. Did not grow axial coralites but developed many radial coralites. The colony is a lot whitish than my frag. Here, it developed...

Well after a year with my fist tank I feel confident enough to go ahead and post my build. Although I have spent countless hours researching and pouring myself into this tank, I consider myself lucky to have the amount of success that I've had so far. This tank was started December 19th 2019...

I am new to the reefing hobby, and I just set up my first Mr. Aqua 12g Long aquarium. After the cycle was finished, I threw in a few test zoas, and they did fine, so when I saw a large frag of an acro labeled "garf bonsai" at an LFS for a good price, I couldn't resist buying it. I didn't have...

I am about due to clear my frag racks. I have the following corals for sale. The numbered WYSIWYG photos are taken under two ATI Blue Plus bulbs. I have also posted colony shots under daylights (Two ATI Coral Plus and six ATI Blue Plus). Shipping is $50 via FedEx overnight, free shipping at...

Hi, this morning I noticed my red dragon frag’s tissue suddenly started peeling. I believe it’s a goner but I was wondering if anyone knows why this happened? Thanks!

First and foremost, I just want to provide as much detail as I can so all the information needed is available. I know not all maybe relevant but I've never posted on a forum before asking for help either, so please bare with. We have a 125 gallon mixed (SPS,LPS, Softies, Sea Fans, NPS and...

I have been in this hobby for about 12 years. This is my fourth tank and only the second one with a real sump. When I setup this tank in Nov 2019 I had no idea how Covid would completely screw my initial setup and most of my life stock. More on that in a bit, but the setup today is very...

My Waterbox 130.4 is approaching 7 months old and I just purchased my first acro frags. I am running 3 Kessil A360X’s over the 4 foot tank. I rented a PAR meter and can get 250-350 PAR at max intensity. Unique Corals states their acros are under 200-250 PAR LED’s, so I figured I should be...

I'm sure a lot of these get posted, but here goes. My newest tank was set up July 2020. I used primarily marco and RealReef rock for the aquascape, which is all dry. Its a barebottom with a ~50% display water volume refugium with a sand bed in the fuge. The refugium has xenia and caulerpa in...

Starting on Saturday 11/14/2020 @ 2PM EST we will begin posting sets of frags all at once every half hour-hour! We will resume on Sunday at 2pm EST until we run out of corals to post. Coral photos will be posted here in this thread also with links to the tckcorals.com website to make your...

Hi guys. I have a red sea reefer 170 which has only had SPS since I got my hands on it 2.5 years ago. Had a big crash this summer as the return pump failed when I was away. Now rebooting it with only acros and the occasional monti where there is a lack of light. Currently have about 10 or so...
