🧬 Overview
The Lime Gold Acropora cerealis is an eye-catching SPS selection, combining the fresh brilliance of lime-green pigmentation with beautiful golden-yellow tones.
Its distinctive coloration creates a lively blend of bright yellow, citrus green and subtle golden highlights, producing a vibrant appearance that stands out among more traditional SPS colour forms.
Acropora cerealis is appreciated for its attractive branching growth and distinctive corallite structure, which adds texture and depth to the colony as it develops.
Under balanced reef lighting, the combination of yellow and green pigmentation creates a particularly attractive display. Blue-spectrum illumination can enhance the fluorescent appearance of the green areas, while the warmer yellow tones contribute to the coral's overall brightness.
As the frag matures, its branching structure can develop into an increasingly intricate colony, bringing both architectural interest and vivid colour to the upper sections of the reef.
This WYSIWYG frag has been individually selected for its beautiful yellow-green pigmentation, making it an excellent addition to a premium SPS collection.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora cerealis is a photosynthetic SPS coral that obtains most of its energy through its symbiotic dinoflagellates. It may also benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with fine planktonic foods and suspended organic particles.
Provide moderate to strong, variable water movement to support efficient gas exchange, nutrient delivery and the removal of accumulated detritus. Avoid direct, concentrated flow that may irritate coral tissues.
Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium concentrations are essential for healthy skeletal growth. Maintaining measurable nitrate and phosphate concentrations supports tissue health and consistent coloration.
For the best development of its yellow and green pigmentation, provide balanced reef lighting and avoid sudden changes in intensity or spectral composition.
Gradually acclimate the frag to higher PAR levels, particularly when introducing it into a new aquarium.

📍 Placement
Position the frag in the middle to upper areas of the reef, where it receives moderate to high lighting and consistent, multidirectional water movement.
Allow sufficient space for future branching growth and avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals.
Under suitable conditions, the coral's combination of lime-green and golden-yellow pigmentation can create a particularly bright display among other SPS colonies.
