š§¬Ā Overview
TheĀ Neon Toxic Glow AcroporaĀ 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.
š½ļøĀ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though colour intensity is enhanced byĀ consistent nutrient balanceĀ andĀ trace element supplementationĀ (particularly potassium, iron, and iodine).
Feed once a week withĀ fine powdered coral foodsĀ such as Reef Roids or Coral Dust to promote polyp growth and sustain fluorescent pigment density.
šĀ Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8ā11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420ā460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250ā1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NOā) | 2ā10 ppm |
| Phosphate (POā) | 0.01ā0.05 ppm |
šĀ Placement
Mount inĀ upper reef zonesĀ underĀ strong, full-spectrum or actinic lighting. ProvideĀ turbulent multidirectional flowĀ to maintain tissue health and prevent detritus accumulation. Allow space for upward branching and avoid shading from other corals.
