🧬 Overview
A truly special collection of Acropora kenti originating from sexual reproduction, offering an exciting glimpse into the future of sustainable coral aquaculture.
Unlike conventional coral propagation, where fragments share the genetics of an existing colony, sexual reproduction produces genetically distinct offspring, each with its own combination of colours, growth patterns and characteristics.
Our collection features four different genetic lineages, including Grade 1, Grade 2 and MAXX Grade 2 specimens.
From beautiful turquoise and green combinations with pink highlights to more unusual deep blues and intense fluorescence, these corals showcase the remarkable diversity made possible through sexual reproduction.
Each original colony has its own individual identification number, allowing its genetic lineage to be traced.
✂️ Shop Propagated – Frags from Original Mini Colonies
All frags are taken directly from the four mini colonies shown in the attached photographs.
Each frag retains the genetic identity of its respective mother colony.
This listing is not WYSIWYG. The photographs show the original mini colonies, not the individual frags supplied. Frag size, shape and colour distribution may vary.
Available as individual frags or as a complete collection of four different varieties.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
These Acropora are best suited to mature SPS reef aquariums with stable water chemistry, strong variable flow and moderate to high lighting.
Primarily photosynthetic, they may also benefit from occasional fine particulate coral foods and naturally available plankton.
Maintaining stable alkalinity, calcium and nutrient levels is essential for healthy growth and colour development.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 24–26°C |
| Salinity | 1.024–1.026 SG |
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 400–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in the middle to upper areas of the reef, with strong, turbulent water movement and adequate lighting. Gradual light acclimatisation is recommended.
Allow sufficient space for future branching growth and avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals.
