Acropora Mini-colony Palau (Assorted Single)
Aquacultured Acropora spp. varieties from Biota Palau, sourced as F2 frags from established F1 broodstock colonies.
Acropora are regarded by many reefkeepers as some of the most rewarding yet challenging corals to maintain. They require moderate to high lighting and moderate to high water flow. Stable levels of alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and trace elements like potassium are essential for healthy growth.
These fragments are grown under EcoTech Radion and Philips Coral Care lighting systems. We recommend using coral-specific food for optimal nutrition and growth.

|---|---|
| Lighting | Moderate to high |
| Water Flow | Moderate to high |
| Alkalinity | Stable |
| Calcium | Stable |
| Magnesium | Stable |
| Trace Elements | Stable (e.g., potassium) |

The Acropora fragments arrived healthy and vibrant. After a few weeks in my reef tank with proper lighting and flow, they started extending their polyps. I’ve been monitoring water parameters closely and they’ve responded well to consistent calcium and alkalinity levels.

Grew them in a moderate flow setup with high lighting. They settled in well and have shown good coloration. I use coral food daily and it makes a noticeable difference in their growth rate.
Colin Bell –
These are the first Acropora I’ve successfully kept. The frags were active from day one and have expanded slightly. I followed the recommended lighting and water chemistry guidelines exactly.
