Blue Lagoon 3cm Frag – Acropora Coral
Acropora is one of the most diverse and popular groups of SPS corals in the marine aquarium hobby, prized for its intricate branching, tabling, plating, and encrusting growth forms. Depending on the species and morph, colonies can display spectacular combinations of blue, purple, green, yellow, pink, red, orange, and gold.
Under strong reef lighting, many Acropora develop intense fluorescent colors and contrasting growth tips. With excellent water quality, strong flow, and stable parameters, they can form impressive mature colonies that provide exceptional structure and movement within an SPS reef.

The Blue Lagoon 3cm frag has grown well in my 120-gallon reef tank. It shows vibrant blue and purple hues under strong lighting. The branching structure adds great movement and visual interest. I maintain stable water parameters and strong flow, which helps it thrive.

It’s a beautiful piece with a nice color contrast. After a few weeks, the tips started glowing under the LED lights. I keep it in the upper zone with good flow and it’s doing well so far.
