Overview

The Aussie Pikachu Acropora is a highly sought-after SPS coral, known for its electric yellow base contrasted by bold, deep red polyps. This stunning coloration is reminiscent of the famous Pokémon character, making it an iconic collector’s piece for advanced reef keepers. Originating from Australia, this ultra-rare variant of Acropora thrives in high-energy reef tanks, displaying fast growth and intricate branching patterns when provided with the right conditions.

When placed under optimal lighting, the Pikachu Acropora's bright yellow hues become even more radiant, creating an eye-catching focal point in any SPS-dominated system. Its red polyps add incredible contrast, making it one of the most visually striking Acropora varieties available.

Care & Feeding

To maintain its vibrant coloration, the Aussie Pikachu Acropora requires intense lighting, such as high-output LEDs, T5s, or metal halides. It also thrives in strong, randomized water flow, which helps keep its delicate branches clean while encouraging maximum polyp extension.

This coral is primarily photosynthetic, but supplementing with amino acids, phytoplankton, and high-quality SPS coral foods can enhance its growth and coloration. Stability in alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium is critical to prevent stress and maintain skeletal structure. Even minor fluctuations can cause tissue recession or fading.

Optimal Parameters

  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8-10

  • Calcium (Ca): 420-460 ppm

  • Magnesium (Mg): 1300-1400 ppm

  • Nitrate (NO3): 2-10 ppm

  • Phosphate (PO4): 0.02-0.05 ppm

Placement

The Pikachu Acropora should be placed in the upper section of the reef tank, where it receives maximum light exposure. Due to its peaceful nature, it can be positioned near other SPS corals, but it needs adequate space for growth. Over time, it develops a complex, branching structure, making it an ideal centerpiece coral for high-end reef aquariums.

⚡ Ultra-Rare & Stunning – The Aussie Pikachu Acropora is a true gem for SPS enthusiasts, offering unmatched neon yellow coloration and fiery red contrast. A must-have for serious collectors!
