Water Flow: Strong, multidirectional
Placement: Upper reef zones
🧬 Overview
The Tropical Blaze Acropora is a spectacular colour morph that captures the essence of tropical reef light. Its intense green base glows like sea emeralds, while its yellow tips shimmer like sunlight dancing through shallow water.
This coral develops dense, upward-pointing branches with uniform polyp spacing, making it a perfect focal piece for SPS-dominated aquascapes.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though its colour vibrancy thrives with stable dosing of trace elements — particularly potassium, iodine, and iron.
Feed fine coral foods (like Reef Roids or Coral Dust) once a week to promote strong polyp growth and maintain saturation of both yellow and green pigments.
📈 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
Position the frag in upper reef zones with intense lighting and turbulent flow to maximise tip colouration and maintain vibrant tissue health. Avoid shadowing by other SPS colonies to preserve full pigment contrast.
