A Word of the Coral
This coral was originally grown from a single branch and has now developed into a colony roughly the size of two to three tennis balls after five to six years in our system. What makes this coral truly fascinating is its grafting behavior. Whether a red or green section is fragged, the coral has repeatedly shown the ability to develop the alternate coloration over time. This kind of bidirectional grafting expression is rarely seen in grafted Acropora and makes every piece from this lineage uniquely interesting to grow and observe.
Care Requirements
Lighting
Moderate to High PAR (250–400). Strong blue-spectrum reef lighting enhances both the red and green coloration.
Water Flow
Moderate to Strong, turbulent flow. Consistent randomized flow supports healthy tissue and natural growth patterns.
Placement
Best placed in the upper half of a mature reef aquarium where stable parameters and strong lighting support SPS coral growth.
