🟢🟡🪸 Acropora sp. “Pacman”
Frag / WYSIWYG Specimen – Neon Green & Yellow Collector SPS
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS)
Colour Form: The “Pacman” Acropora is known for its vibrant neon green base combined with bright yellow polyps and, in many cases, subtle bluish or teal growth tips. Under actinic lighting, the coral explodes with intense fluorescence—greens and yellows glowing vividly across the structure. Under balanced white lighting, the full contrast becomes clear, revealing lime green branches, golden-yellow polyps and cool-toned tips that give this coral its iconic look.
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 / WYSIWYG Specimen
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Pacman” is a standout SPS coral in the collector scene, instantly recognisable by its bold green and yellow contrast. Its branching structure forms compact yet intricate colonies, with dense polyp extension that adds texture and movement.
Under blue spectrum lighting, the coral becomes intensely luminous, making it a focal point in any SPS-dominated reef. The combination of bright tissue and contrasting polyps creates a layered, almost “glowing” effect across the colony.
With stable parameters and strong lighting, this coral develops richer saturation and defined growth tips, enhancing its overall visual impact over time.
🧾 Frag / WYSIWYG Note
You will receive either the exact frag shown (WYSIWYG) or a carefully selected specimen similar in colour and structure, chosen for fluorescence, polyp extension and health.
Selected for:
• Iconic neon green and yellow colour combination
• Strong fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Dense polyp extension for added texture
• High-end collector SPS morph
• Excellent contrast within SPS systems
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora rely primarily on photosynthesis but benefit from nutrient balance.
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. Ensure stability and allow space for branch development.
