Hey Reefers! Let's talk Acropora!
If an average, non-reefing person is told to picture a coral, they are most likely envisioning an Acropora! Acropora, or Acro for short, are the pinnacle of not only reef keeping, but to actual reefs in the ocean! These reef building and creating corals are the poster child for corals worldwide! Making them a extremely rewarding addition to any reef tank!
Acros have been one of the pillars of our hobby for decades! A stunning grouping of SPS corals that keep on getting better as the years go by! Acropora come to us from several regions, Australia, Indonesia, Tonga, and most recently Fiji! Not to mention the countless strains of aquacultured Acropora that have been grown for generations! With more and more popping up all the time!
The second to none coloration of Acros is what has Reefers so hooked on them! With wild Acros, color and growth structure can vary by region, but named, aquacultured Acros come in just about every color and color combination you could imagine! It is truly remarkable just how many different colors they make shine! Check out some articles on Reef Builders of crazy colored Acros that you to see to believe HERE!
Being vertical growing SPS Corals, in the right conditions, Acropora can really grow! Sprouting out in a twisted, clustered grouping of branches that really stand out in a reef tank! Making them an even more perfect selection for Aquaculture! All those fast growing branches are easy to frag off and share across our hobby!
When it comes to caring for your Acropora, their specific conditions should not be taken lightly. Acros can be extremely sensitive. This is why they are generally considered to be an expert care level coral. Consistent and stable tank parameters are essential to keeping Acro. This is why most hobbyists won't add an Acro until their tank is well established. Clean water and higher nutrient levels is a fine balance to have success keeping and growing them! Place your Acros in an area of very high light and high flow. These corals are typically collected and placed close to the surface (although there are some deeper water species). Blast them with light & flow and watch them flourish!
We have a great selection of Acropora colonies and Frags! Check out several of our favorites currently in stock down below, but click any photo to shop them all instantly! Don't forget about our huge Back to School Sale going on right now! Score one at a great discount before the school bell rings!
