Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–11, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (to maximise fluorescence)
Water Flow: Strong and multidirectional
Placement: Upper reef zones
🧬 Overview
The Neon Toxic Glow Acropora is an electric, high-impact coral that commands attention in any SPS display. Its tissue is saturated in vivid green pigments while its tips emit a glowing fluorescent hue that seems almost radioactive under blue spectrum lighting.
This fast-growing, light-hungry Acropora develops dense, vertical branches and forms a brilliant centrepiece for high-energy reef systems. Perfect for collectors seeking bold, high-contrast colour in their upper rockwork.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though colour intensity is enhanced by consistent nutrient balance and trace element supplementation (particularly potassium, iron, and iodine).
Feed once a week with fine powdered coral foods such as Reef Roids or Coral Dust to promote polyp growth and sustain fluorescent pigment density.
📈 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 under strong, full-spectrum or actinic lighting. Provide turbulent multidirectional flow to maintain tissue health and prevent detritus accumulation. Allow space for upward branching and avoid shading from other corals.
