🧬🪸 Acropora sp. “Fine Coralite” – Frag
Frag Specimen – Delicate Structure SPS with Fine Polyps
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS)
Colour Form: Fine coralite Acropora typically display smooth branch structures with subtle yet refined colouration—ranging from soft greens and creams to pastel tones, often accented by contrasting polyps or slightly coloured growth tips. Under actinic lighting, the polyp fluorescence becomes more apparent, giving the coral a soft glowing effect. Under balanced white lighting, the clean structure and delicate colour gradients are fully visible.
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 250–400)
Water Flow: High, turbulent flow
Placement: Upper reef
Type: Frag
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Fine Coralite” refers to SPS morphs characterised by their refined skeletal structure and tightly spaced, small coralites. This gives the coral a smoother, more elegant appearance compared to more rugged or spiky Acropora species.
These corals often develop a clean, minimalistic aesthetic, where colour is complemented by structure rather than overpowering it. The fine polyp extension adds subtle movement and texture, especially under strong flow conditions.
Highly appreciated by experienced reef keepers, this type of Acropora brings sophistication and architectural detail to SPS-dominated systems.
🧾 Frag Note
You will receive a healthy frag similar to the photo, selected for structural integrity, polyp extension and growth potential.
Selected for:
• Fine, tightly structured coralites
• Smooth and elegant branch formation
• Subtle yet refined colour expression
• High-end SPS structural aesthetic
• Excellent growth potential in stable systems
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora rely primarily on photosynthesis but benefit from nutrient balance.
Recommended support:
• Stable nitrate and phosphate levels
• Amino acids and trace element supplementation
• Occasional broadcast feeding of fine plankton
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper reef with strong lighting and high, turbulent flow. Stability is key to maintaining structure and healthy polyp extension.
