🟠🟢🪸 Acropora sp. “Orange Emerald Fusion”
WYSIWYG Frag – Orange & Green Acropora
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS colonies)
Colour Form: This Orange Emerald Fusion Acropora displays a vivid contrast between warm orange branch tips and vibrant emerald-green tissue across the base and inner branches. Under actinic lighting the green tissue glows intensely while the orange pigments ignite into bright tangerine and amber tones. Under balanced white lighting the frag reveals a striking blend of jungle green, lime highlights and fiery orange tips that create a dynamic two-tone colour pattern.
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 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork or high-energy reef zones
Type: WYSIWYG Frag
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Orange Emerald Fusion” is a vibrant SPS coral known for its energetic colour contrast and classic Acropora branching growth. The combination of glowing green tissue and bright orange growth tips creates a strong visual impact within SPS reef aquascapes.
Under modern reef LED lighting the coral develops intense fluorescence, particularly during actinic periods where the green pigments shine vividly while the orange tips appear almost molten in colour.
As the frag grows into a colony, it forms branching structures that maintain the striking two-tone colour contrast, making it an excellent highlight coral among blue, pink or purple Acropora varieties.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each frag is individually photographed and selected for colour saturation, structure and coral health.
Selected for:
• Strong orange and emerald-green colour contrast
• Healthy tissue and visible growth tips
• Bright fluorescence under reef LED lighting
• Clean frag structure ready for mounting
• Proven colour response in stable SPS systems
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora species, this coral relies mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from stable nutrient levels and occasional feeding.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Fine plankton blends or powdered coral foods
• Amino acid supplements for SPS systems
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef aquariums
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper aquascape where strong lighting and turbulent water flow are present. Strong water movement helps maintain tissue health and promotes vibrant coloration.
Allow adequate spacing from neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural growth and branch development.
