Overview
The Flaming Sunrise Speciosa Acropora is a living firework—exploding with a radiant blend of sunrise hues, from deep orange and hot magenta to golden yellow tips and soft blue undertones. This rare and highly sought-after morph of Acropora speciosa is known for its compact, symmetrical branch structure and unparalleled coloration under full-spectrum or heavy-blue lighting.
A true collector’s piece, this frag is ideal for reefers with stable, mature systems who want to add a rare, centerpiece-worthy SPS to their coral garden.
Care & Feeding
As with all high-end Acroporas, the Flaming Sunrise thrives under intense lighting and chaotic, high-velocity flow. Stability is key: maintain ultra-consistent parameters and dose essential elements. While it is primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding with microplankton, reef roids, and amino acid blends will promote tissue growth and deepen coloration.
Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8-11
Calcium (Ca): 420-460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1300-1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO3): 2-5 ppm
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.03 ppm
Placement
Mount this frag in a high-light, high-flow area with room for upward branching. Use a frag plug on a rack or secure to your rockwork. Avoid shaded zones, and make sure surrounding corals aren’t crowding its light exposure.
🌅💥 A Masterpiece in Coral Form – The Flaming Sunrise Speciosa Acropora is one of the most visually intense SPS available, made for reefers who want color, form, and rarity in one stunning frag.
