💙💛 Wolverine Acropora
Acropora sp. – Blue & Yellow Collector SPS
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: A fierce combination of deep sapphire blue branches and glowing golden-yellow corallites, forming one of the most iconic and powerful colour contrasts in the SPS world. Under actinic lighting, the yellow tips blaze like molten gold against a metallic blue skeleton — bold, intense, and instantly recognisable.
Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–11, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High – to maintain bright contrast and rich saturation
Water Flow: Strong, multidirectional
Placement: Upper reef zones
🧬 Overview
The Wolverine Acropora is a legendary collector morph, celebrated for its unmatched blue-yellow contrast and its aggressive, fast-growing branching pattern.
Under stable, high-intensity lighting, the coral’s dual-tone pigmentation becomes explosive — bright golden polyps erupting from cobalt branches, giving it a living “energy-claw” aesthetic.
A coral of pure attitude and elegance, the Wolverine brings sharp contrast and power to any SPS reefscape, standing out even among elite high-end Acroporas.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from amino acid dosing and occasional coral feeding (e.g. Reef Roids, Coral Vitaliser) to enhance pigment density.
Maintain strong flow to prevent debris accumulation and ensure full polyp extension.
Stable nutrient levels (low but measurable) help preserve the bright yellow pigments, which can fade in ultra-low nutrient systems.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.01–0.05 ppm |
📍 Placement
Mount in upper reef zones with intense lighting and turbulent, multidirectional flow.
Allow sufficient space for radial branching, and avoid shading from neighbouring SPS colonies to maintain full-body colouration.
