🔵✨ Acropora gomesi “Azul” – Colonies (S / M / L)
Acropora gomesi – Deep Blue Reef-Building SPS Coral (Aquarium-Grown Colonies)
🧬 Overview
The Acropora gomesi “Azul” is a stunning SPS coral known for its elegant branch structure and intense blue pigmentation.
Each colony is aquarium-grown and fully conditioned, ensuring excellent colour stability, quick adaptation, and fast skeletal growth once introduced to your reef.
Available in three size grades to match your aquascape:
-
S (Small): Compact starter colony with multiple active tips – ideal for rapid growth
-
M (Medium): Balanced colony with strong branching and vibrant polyp coverage
-
L (Large): Mature, high-impact display colony – ready to dominate your SPS section
📸 Photos shown are examples — each colony is unique in shape and tone, but all share the same vibrant blue morph and premium health standards.
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from other SPS)
Colour Form: A deep cobalt-blue Acropora with bright electric polyps and shimmering tips. Under daylight, it shows rich ocean-blue branches; under actinic lighting, it glows with icy sapphire fluorescence.
Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)
Water Flow: Strong, alternating
Placement: Upper rockwork or exposed ridges with full access to light and turbulent flow
💡 Growth & Colour
This species thrives under stable alkalinity and high-energy environments.
Expect:
-
fast axial growth and dense branching
-
vivid blue fluorescence
-
strong polyp activity and encrusting base
Maintain balanced nutrients to preserve colour depth — excess phosphate can dull the blue tone.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding improves growth and polyp extension. Offer:
-
amino acid blends or coral vitalisers
-
fine SPS coral foods or microplankton (1–2× per week)
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position in high light and strong alternating flow to encourage full coloration and branch density.
Allow open space above and around the colony for vertical growth.
