Acropora Sarmentosa 3cm Frag
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 coral has grown well in my 120-gallon reef tank. It shows vibrant colors under my LED lights and responds well to the flow. I’ve noticed it branching out nicely over the past few months. A great addition to any SPS setup.

It arrived healthy and has been stable since installation. The colors are vivid and the growth is steady. I keep it in the mid-reef zone with strong lighting and flow. Slightly more delicate than expected, but overall a solid choice.

After a few weeks, the coral has developed a nice purple and blue hue. I’ve maintained strong lighting and flow, and it’s been very active. It adds a lot of visual interest to the tank.
