🧬 Overview
The Red Devil Fingers Acropora is a striking SPS selected for its intense red coloration and distinctive finger-like branching growth.
As the colony develops, it produces an increasingly dense structure of upright branches, creating the characteristic “fingers” appearance. Under suitable conditions, new growth can develop particularly intense red and pink tones, producing excellent contrast against surrounding green, blue and yellow SPS.
This strain is propagated at FreakinCorals, allowing us to offer aquacultured frags originating from established captive-grown stock.
Under blue-heavy reef lighting, the red pigmentation can take on deeper crimson, magenta and burgundy tones, while a more balanced spectrum reveals its warmer natural red coloration and branching structure.

Selected for:
• Intense red and crimson coloration
• Bright pink-red growth tips
• Distinctive finger-like branching
• Strong colour under reef lighting
• Excellent SPS grow-out potential
• Captive-grown lineage
• Propagated at FreakinCorals
• Frag similar to the photo shown
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Red Devil Fingers performs best in an established SPS aquarium with stable alkalinity, strong lighting and powerful multidirectional flow. It is primarily photosynthetic, although amino acids and fine particulate SPS foods may be offered as supplemental nutrition.
Maintaining stable, measurable nitrate and phosphate is preferable to aggressively stripping nutrients from the system.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in the middle to upper areas of the reef, ideally around 250–400 PAR once acclimated, with strong, irregular and multidirectional water movement. Gradual light acclimation is recommended when introducing new frags.
