Acropora Coral – TSA Raw Banana Lokani 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 banana lokani frag arrived healthy and vibrant. After a few weeks under strong lighting, it started showing subtle color shifts. The growth is steady and it adds good structure to the tank. Flow and water quality are key, but it’s a solid addition to any SPS setup.

I’ve had this coral for about a month now. It’s not showing full fluorescence yet, but it’s stable and growing slowly. I’m using high PAR lighting and maintaining consistent water parameters. It’s a good choice for beginners who want a reliable Acropora.

The raw banana color is natural and looks great in the tank. It’s been in my reef for two months and has developed a nice branching form. I keep the flow strong and light consistent. It’s one of the more visually interesting frags I’ve added.
