Hairy Green Australian Acropora

Acropora corals are fast-growing small-polyp stony (SPS) corals known for their branching, plating, or tabling growth forms and intense, often neon coloration. They are one of the most sought-after corals in the reef hobby due to their wide variety of shapes and colors, ranging from vibrant greens and blues to purples, pinks, and multi-color combinations. When thriving, Acropora develop dense, structured colonies that create a dramatic, natural reef appearance and are often considered a hallmark of a mature, high-end reef aquarium. Our WYSIWYG Acropora frags are grown in our greenhouse and photographed under LED with ambient natural light. PLEASE NOTE: if you use a different lighting spectrum the color will appear different from our photo Care Guide For care, Acropora require moderate to high lighting and strong, turbulent water flow to keep their surfaces clean and promote healthy growth. They are more demanding than many other corals and require very stable water parameters (temperature ~76–80°F, salinity ~1.025, alkalinity 8–9 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm, magnesium 1250–1350 ppm). Acropora are sensitive to fluctuations, especially in alkalinity, and do best in well-established systems. While they rely heavily on photosynthesis, they can benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods. Proper placement, stability, and flow are key to maintaining their vibrant coloration and long-term success.
