{"product_id":"yellow-acropora-fragment","title":"Yellow Acropora Fragment","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora are a diverse genus of small-polyp stony corals that represent the pinnacle of the reef aquarium hobby for many keepers. Their intricate branching structures and demanding care requirements make them a rewarding challenge. This particular Acropora shows off a bright yellow colouration, a classic for this group of corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the specific species and the conditions in the aquarium, Acropora can grow into a wide variety of forms, from fine-bottlebrush shapes to thick, arborescent skeletons. Their polyps are small and typically extend at night, though daytime polyp extension can be a sign of a happy, well-fed colony. This specimen has a distinct yellow hue that will intensify under the right lighting spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora care requires stability above all else. They demand high light levels, ideally in the 250-450 PAR range, so placement in the upper areas of the tank is best. Strong, indirect water flow is just as important to keep the polyps clean and deliver nutrients. Stable water parameters are critical: maintain calcium between 420-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium around 1300-1400. While photosynthetic, they benefit from occasional feeding with SPS coral food. Keep them well away from any aggressive corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a mature reef system with stable parameters, Acropora can be one of the fastest-growing corals, creating a stunning centerpiece over time. They are completely reef-safe and compatible with other high-energy reef inhabitants. Careful acclimation is key; start with a slow drip acclimation, followed by a gradual ramp-up of light intensity over a week or two to avoid shocking the coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a WYSIWYG item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42429146136631,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260903-WDE1","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/6559430a-ba97-424c-a52c-bb080718271a-_MG_4744.png?v=1788466515","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/yellow-acropora-fragment","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
