A Word About the Coral

UW Oompa Loompa Splice Acropora is a grafted Acropora featuring vivid neon-green growth against a deep purple-blue base. TIA originally received this coral as a small frag directly from UW and grew it into the mature colony shown here.

As the colony developed, the green grafting continued to spread and form unique patterns throughout the branches. Each frag may display a different balance of green and purple depending on where it is cut, making every piece naturally distinctive.

Its bold contrast, unusual grafting, and documented origin make it an excellent addition for dedicated SPS collectors.

Care Requirements

Lighting

Moderate to High PAR (250–400). Strong blue-spectrum reef lighting helps bring out the neon-green grafting and deeper base coloration.

Water Flow

Moderate to Strong, turbulent flow. Randomized circulation supports healthy growth, prevents debris buildup, and encourages natural polyp extension.

Placement

Best placed in the upper half of a mature reef aquarium with stable parameters, strong lighting, and consistent water movement.

Water Parameters

• Temperature: 76–79°F
• Salinity: 1.025–1.026
• Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm

Reef Compatibility
