Wowzer Acropora

Wowzer Acropora Coral Overview Wowzer Acropora is a high-contrast Acropora sp. for established SPS reef systems. It is typically sought after for bright green fluorescence, yellow to golden polyp contrast, and blue-to-teal accents under strong reef lighting. As with most Acropora, its best colour and growth come from stable chemistry, strong lighting, and consistent turbulent flow. This is a small polyp stony coral best suited for reef keepers who already maintain steady alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, and nutrients. We recommend placing it where it can receive high-quality light and broad, indirect movement without being blasted from one direction. Care Requirements Genus: Acropora Species: Not confirmed Type: Small polyp stony coral (SPS) Care level: Advanced Lighting: Medium-high to high PAR, with careful acclimation into stronger light Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent flow Placement: Upper half of a mature reef system, with room for branching growth Stability & Growth Like other Acropora, Wowzer Acropora responds best when reef parameters stay consistent rather than swinging quickly. Stable alkalinity is especially important for SPS growth and tissue health. We grow Acropora in systems maintained with the Hydroshock 3-Part Complete System to support balanced calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Avoid sudden changes in light intensity, nutrient levels, or flow pattern. If moving this coral into a higher-light position, acclimate it gradually and watch for signs of stress such as reduced polyp extension, paling, or tissue recession. Feeding & Nutrition Wowzer Acropora relies primarily on photosynthesis, but it can benefit from a stable nutrient environment and a balanced reef nutrition routine. Live plankton and microbial inputs can support the broader reef food web when used carefully. Relevant options include Rhodomonas Live Phytoplankton, Isochrysis Live Phytoplankton, and Palustris Live Bacteria - Bacto Fuel. Do not chase colour with abrupt nutrient changes or heavy feeding. For Acropora, consistency usually produces better long-term results than aggressive adjustments. Shipping & Arrival We pack livestock carefully for overnight shipping and recommend reviewing our shipping policy and Arrive Alive Guarantee before ordering. As with all SPS corals, careful acclimation, inspection, and stable placement after arrival will give this coral the best chance to settle in well.
