{"product_id":"green-acropora-sp","title":"Green Acropora sp.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora are perhaps the quintessential SPS coral, synonymous with advanced reef keeping and forming the backbone of many mature reef aquariums. Their diverse growth forms and vibrant colours make them highly sought after. This particular specimen is a vibrant green Acropora sp., ready to add a splash of colour and structure to your reef. This piece measures approximately 7cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Acropora typically exhibit a branching or tabling growth habit, though some can be encrusting or even arborescent. The polyps are small and often extend during the day, creating a fuzzy appearance that adds to their aesthetic appeal. Under appropriate lighting, the green coloration of this species will be strong and consistent, providing excellent contrast against other corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora require high lighting, typically in the 300-500 PAR range, and strong, turbulent flow to thrive. Placement in the upper to mid sections of the aquarium, where both light and flow are robust, is ideal. They are primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from broadcast feeding of fine particulate foods. Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-9 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Acropora are generally peaceful but need adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging. Acclimation should be slow and gradual, especially for light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith proper care, a Green Acropora sp. can grow into a magnificent colony, providing intricate structure and a vibrant green focal point in a well-established reef system.
