{"product_id":"nuclear-green-acropora-sp","title":"Nuclear Green Acropora sp.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora corals are a cornerstone of many reef aquariums, often admired for their intricate structures and vibrant colours. This particular specimen, a Nuclear Green Acropora sp., offers a striking green hue that can become a focal point in a well-maintained SPS display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis colony features a branching growth form, typical of many Acropora species. Its polyps are usually small and extend from the corallites, adding a fine texture to its overall appearance. The entire piece is a consistent, intense green, and it measures approximately 12cm across. Healthy Acropora often show excellent polyp extension, indicating good water quality and suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal health, Nuclear Green Acropora sp. requires high lighting, ideally around 300-450 PAR. Strong, turbulent flow is crucial to prevent detritus accumulation and provide nutrients to the coral tissue. Placement in the upper to mid sections of the aquarium is generally recommended, depending on the light intensity. While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding with fine particulate foods can be beneficial. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium at 400-450 ppm, Alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and Magnesium at 1250-1350 ppm. Acropora can be aggressive towards other corals if they touch, so ensure adequate spacing. Acclimation should be slow and gradual, especially regarding lighting and flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224920559671,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260924-CMQ6","price":199.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/777c1284-30ba-41f0-906a-f9856816c173-_MG_5287.png?v=1790277588","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/nuclear-green-acropora-sp","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
