Choosing Acropora coral frags
Acropora are small-polyp stony corals whose growth and health depend on an established reef environment. Compare your aquarium’s water stability, lighting, and circulation with the needs of the particular coral before choosing a frag.
Leave room for growth and water movement around the intended position. Monitor the water chemistry needed by stony corals, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, and base maintenance on measured consumption. A coral’s colour in a photograph is not a substitute for understanding the conditions under which it has been kept.
Some listings use a short stock reference such as ACRO A1. That reference identifies the listing, but it does not establish a species, lineage, frag size, or growth form. Ask our team for the current piece’s details and a suitable placement recommendation before purchasing when those details are not supplied.
