{"product_id":"toxic-green-acropora-sp","title":"Toxic Green Acropora sp.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora are a cornerstone of many reef aquariums, often seen as a benchmark for successful SPS husbandry. This particular specimen, a Toxic Green Acropora sp., showcases the vibrant colouration and intricate growth forms that make these corals so captivating. It is a classic choice for reef keepers looking to add structure and a pop of bright green to their display. This piece measures approximately 12cm.     This Toxic Green Acropora sp. exhibits a branching growth habit, with many small polyps extending to capture light and food particles. The entire colony presents a striking green, offering a bold visual statement in the aquarium. Its polyps are typically extended during the day, giving the coral a fuzzy appearance that adds to its aesthetic appeal.     For optimal health, this Acropora requires high PAR lighting, typically between 300-500 PAR. Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to keep the coral clean and deliver nutrients. Placement in the upper third of the aquarium is generally recommended to ensure adequate light and flow. While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods or amino acids can promote faster growth and enhanced colour. Stable water parameters are crucial: Calcium 400-450 ppm, Alkalinity 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1450 ppm. Acropora can be aggressive with sweeper tentacles, so provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals. Acclimation should be gradual, especially for lighting, to prevent shock.\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":50224917905463,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260924-6YOX","price":199.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/7aa5aa33-3882-4c52-8adb-c1f21850d0f1-_MG_5305.png?v=1790277389","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/toxic-green-acropora-sp","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
