💜🪸 Acropora sp. “Deep Purple” – WYSIWYG Frag
WYSIWYG Specimen – Rich Violet SPS Frag
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS)
Colour Form: This Acropora frag displays deep purple to violet pigmentation across its branches, often complemented by slightly lighter or bluish growth tips. Under actinic lighting, the coral develops a strong fluorescent glow, with violet and blue tones intensifying across the structure. Under balanced white lighting, rich royal purple hues dominate, revealing depth, saturation and subtle tonal variations along the 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: WYSIWYG Frag
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Deep Purple” is a classic yet highly desirable SPS coral, valued for its saturated colour and clean, elegant appearance. Its uniform purple tone brings balance and contrast to reef systems dominated by greens, yellows and multi-colour pieces.
As the coral grows, it develops a structured branching form with defined tips that often highlight active growth zones. Under blue spectrum lighting, the fluorescence becomes more pronounced, enhancing the coral’s visual depth.
This WYSIWYG frag offers immediate colour presence and strong potential for colony development in stable SPS systems.
🧾 WYSIWYG
You will receive the exact frag shown in the photo, selected for colour saturation, polyp extension and structural integrity.
Selected for:
• Deep saturated purple/violet pigmentation
• Strong fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Clean, uniform colour profile
• Healthy branching structure
• Ideal contrast coral for SPS layouts
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora rely primarily on photosynthesis but benefit from stable nutrients.
Recommended support:
• Stable nitrate and phosphate levels
• Amino acids and trace element supplementation
• Occasional broadcast feeding of fine plankton
📈 Optimal Parameters
