🌟 Limeburst Acropora

Acropora sp. (Green/Yellow Colony)

🔹 Quick Stats

• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

• Temperament: Peaceful

• Colour Form: Vibrant green branches with glowing yellow accents along tips and edges. Under actinic or blue-dominant lighting, the yellow highlights fluoresce, creating a striking two-tone ultra effect.

• Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–12, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026

• Family: Acroporidae

• Lighting: Moderate to high (to maintain ultra coloration)

• Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Trace Elements, Amino Acids

• Water Flow: Moderate — sufficient for healthy polyp extension

• Placement: Mid to upper reef levels for optimal light exposure

🧬 Overview

The Limeburst Acropora is an ultra morph prized for its dynamic combination of green and yellow. The yellow accents along the branch tips create a glowing, lively effect against the green base, making the colony a vibrant focal point in any reef. Its branching structure supports excellent polyp extension, enhancing both movement and fluorescence.

This morph is perfect for collectors seeking a bright, energetic centerpiece that stands out in the tank.

🍽️ Feeding & Care

While photosynthetic, this Acropora benefits from 1–2 supplemental feedings per week using fine particulate foods, phytoplankton, or coral amino acid blends. Feeding encourages brighter fluorescence, healthier growth, and full polyp extension. Stable water parameters are essential for long-term health and ultra coloration.

📈 Optimal Parameters

• Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12

• Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm

• Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm

• Nitrate (NO₃): 0–10 ppm

• Phosphate (PO₄): 0–0.05 ppm

📍 Placement

Place in moderate to high lighting with gentle, steady water flow. Allow sufficient space for polyp expansion and avoid aggressive neighbours. Under blue-dominant lighting, the yellow tips glow vibrantly against the green base, creating a lively and ultra-striking display.
