🐸💚 Acropora sp. “Green Frog”
WYSIWYG Specimen – Neon Green Branching Acropora
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS colonies)
Colour Form: The Green Frog Acropora displays vibrant neon-green tissue across its branches with lighter lime-green growth tips. Under actinic lighting the coral glows with intense fluorescent green, creating a bright and lively presence in the reef. Under balanced white lighting the colony reveals rich emerald-green tones with subtle chartreuse highlights that accentuate the coral’s natural branching structure.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork or high-energy reef zones
Type: WYSIWYG
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Green Frog” is a bright and energetic SPS coral prized for its clean neon-green coloration and classic branching structure. Its glowing green tissue gives the coral a lively appearance in reef aquascapes, especially under blue-spectrum lighting where the fluorescence becomes extremely pronounced.
As the coral grows, branches extend outward while the growth tips develop lighter lime highlights that emphasize new growth. The vibrant green coloration makes this coral an excellent contrast piece when placed alongside reds, pinks and blues in SPS-dominated reef systems.
With stable parameters and strong lighting, this coral develops dense branching clusters and maintains its vivid green glow.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each specimen is individually photographed and selected for colour intensity, structural form and coral health.
Selected for:
• Bright neon-green coloration
• Healthy tissue and active growth tips
• Strong branching Acropora structure
• Excellent polyp extension
• Proven colour response under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora, Green Frog relies primarily on photosynthesis but benefits from nutrient-balanced reef environments and occasional coral feeding.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Fine plankton blends or powdered coral foods
• Amino acid supplements for SPS systems
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef systems
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Position in the upper aquascape where strong lighting and turbulent water flow are present. Stable parameters and adequate nutrient levels help maintain the coral’s bright green fluorescence.
Allow sufficient spacing between neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural branching growth.
