🧬🌈🪸 Acropora sp. “Lastistella” – Frags
Frag Specimens – Delicate Branching SPS (Similar to Photo)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS)
Colour Form: Lastistella-type Acropora typically display a refined mix of soft base tones—ranging from pale greens, creams or pastels—accented by contrasting growth tips in hues such as blue, purple or pink. Under actinic lighting, the tips and polyps develop enhanced fluorescence, while under balanced white lighting the coral reveals clean gradients and subtle colour transitions across its thin branches.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)
Water Flow: High, turbulent flow
Placement: Upper reef
Type: Frag (Similar to Photo)
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Lastistella” is appreciated for its elegant, fine branching structure and subtle yet sophisticated colour palette. Its thinner branches and tight coralite formation create a clean, high-end aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with thicker or more rugged SPS species.
This coral focuses on structure and refinement, with colour acting as an accent rather than the dominant feature. Under strong lighting and stable conditions, the tips intensify and the overall appearance becomes more defined and polished.
Ideal for advanced reef keepers aiming to build a detailed, architecturally rich SPS display.
🧾 Frag Note
You will receive a frag similar to the photo, selected for structure, polyp extension and colour potential.
Please note:
• Colouration may develop further under optimal conditions
• Tip coloration may vary between blue, purple or pink tones
Selected for:
• Fine, elegant branching structure
• Subtle pastel base tones with coloured tips
• High-end SPS aesthetic
• Strong polyp extension and growth potential
• Excellent reef-scaping detail coral
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora rely primarily on photosynthesis but benefit from stable nutrient support.
Recommended support:
• Stable nitrate and phosphate levels
• Amino acids and trace element supplementation
• Occasional broadcast feeding of fine plankton
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper reef with strong lighting and high, turbulent flow. Stability is key to maintaining structure and enhancing tip coloration.
