💜🪸 Acropora sp. “Purple Aura” – Mini Colony – WYSIWYG
Acropora sp. – Compact Purple SPS Mini Colony With Deep Tones & Clean Structure (Exact Piece Shown)

🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Purple Aura” mini colony is a refined SPS piece showcasing deep violet to royal-purple tones, offering a rich, elegant look that contrasts beautifully with greens, yellows, and lighter SPS in the reef.
This WYSIWYG mini colony is tank-grown, fully healed, and well conditioned, making it ideal for reefers seeking instant colour presence with strong future growth potential.

📸 What you see is exactly what you get — the mini colony shown is the exact piece you will receive, with its natural branching form, colour depth, and active growth points.

🔹 Quick Stats

  • Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

  • Temperament: Peaceful (allow spacing from neighbouring SPS)

  • Colour Form: Deep purple / violet tones with subtle fluorescence under blue light

  • Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)

  • Water Flow: Strong, alternating / turbulent

  • Placement: Upper to mid rockwork with unobstructed light

💡 Growth & Colour
As a mini colony, this coral already offers multiple growth tips and a defined skeletal structure. Under stable reef conditions, expect:

  • intensified purple saturation as it matures

  • clean axial growth and steady branching

  • consistent polyp extension under strong flow

Avoid ultra-low nutrients — low but measurable nitrates help prevent purple fade and keep colours rich. Stable alkalinity is essential for healthy, stress-free growth.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from supplemental nutrition:

  • fine powdered coral foods or micro-plankton

  • amino acid blends 1–2× weekly

Feeding supports tissue thickness and long-term colour stability.

📈 Optimal Parameters

  • Alkalinity: 7.5–8.5 dKH

  • Calcium: 420–450 ppm

  • Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm

  • Nitrate: 2–10 ppm

  • Phosphate: 0.02–0.08 ppm

📍 Placement
Place in high light with strong, random flow to maintain deep purple tones and encourage even growth across the mini colony.
