🧬 Overview
The Flaming Sunrise Speciosa is a collector-grade, ultra rare colour morph prized for its extreme warm-spectrum expression — a zone where very few Acropora truly excel. This is not pastel, not washed — it is pure heat in coral form.
The thick branches, heavy polyp coverage and layered colour zones give this speciosa a dense, powerful presence, making it a standout even among elite SPS collections.
Each Cut to Order frag is taken from mother colonies selected for:
-
Blazing orange / red base coloration
-
Clear pink and yellow highlight zones
-
High fluorescence under blue spectrum
-
Thick branches with strong growth tips
-
Proven colour stability in reef conditions
A premium option for reefers who want maximum warmth, energy and visual aggression in their SPS layout.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
This speciosa thrives in nutrient-rich, heavily fed systems with strong export and stability.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
-
Amino acids
-
Fine planktonic foods (rotifers, copepods)
-
SPS blends / reef snow
Stable alkalinity is critical to maintain colour intensity.
