Acropora

Our Acropora for Sale

The Acropora we offer for sale primarily come from Indonesian and Australian open sea coral farming. In an aquarium, these corals require appropriate lighting and water movement (see each species' descriptive sheet), and the water quality must be almost perfect with stable parameters. In the natural environment, Acropora are hermatypic corals, meaning they are reef builders. An Acropora colony can measure more than 10 meters in diameter in nature. They have a branched and tree-like appearance with cylindrical branches and a terminal polyp at the end of each. Acropora found in shallow waters form short and compact branches, while colonies in deeper waters form longer and more spaced-out branches. The preferred habitat for Acropora is reef slopes, reef flats, and lagoons, where they provide refuge for many species of fish in case of danger. Acropora are the most demanding corals in terms of water quality. KH, Calcium, and Magnesium must be perfectly stable. Nitrates and Phosphates must be kept close to zero without ever reaching the value of 0.

Moderate to Strong Water Movement

Often found in surface waters, stirred by waves. Acropora need strong currents to rid themselves of mucus and sediment accumulations.

Moderate to Strong Lighting

Some Acropora species, such as humilis or millepora, live very close to the surface, to the point that they can be out of the water at low tide. Conversely, deep water Acropora like Suarshanoi should not live at the surface.

Useful Information

Acropora are capable of changing shapes depending on the water movement and lighting, which sometimes makes their identification difficult.
