Placement: Upper rockwork
🧬 Overview
The Emerald Ember Acropora is a striking two-tone frag showcasing the perfect balance between warm green fluorescence and cool purple saturation. Its branching structure develops clean colour separation as it grows — emerald foundations transitioning into vivid purple crowns. The contrast is bold yet elegant, making this morph a standout choice for SPS collectors who appreciate classic colour pairings with modern brightness.
Under strong LED blues, the frag transforms into a glowing mix of violet fire and green radiance.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but occasional micro-feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, Phytoplankton) helps maintain polyp health and tip saturation. Keep alkalinity, calcium, and key trace elements — especially potassium and iron — stable to preserve both the green fluorescence and the purple tip pigmentation.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 430–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Mount high in the aquascape with strong, alternating flow. Consistent PAR ensures the strongest purple tip development while keeping the green body bright and glowing.
