🧬 Overview
The Crimson Bloom Acropora is a premium deep-pink morph ideal for collectors seeking bold warm tones with refined branching structure. Its saturated pigmentation holds exceptionally well under stable SPS conditions, producing a dramatic, jewel-like appearance in the reef. As it grows, it forms layered colour transitions from darker rose bases to lighter glowing tips, enhancing its sculptural presence.
This frag delivers both elegance and intensity — a standout piece for anyone building a high-end colourful Acropora collection.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but deeper pink tones thrive with stable nutrients and occasional micro-feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, Phytoplankton). Maintain steady alkalinity, calcium, and trace elements — especially potassium and iron — to preserve the dark-pink chromoproteins and prevent dulling.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 430–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
