Acropora Mossberry 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.

The Mossberry frag has grown well in my 120-gallon reef tank. It shows vibrant blue and green hues under my LED lights. I’ve maintained strong flow and stable water parameters, and it’s become a focal point in the display. Growth is steady and the coloration is impressive.

I’ve had this frag for about three months. It’s been a bit slow to establish, but after adjusting the lighting to 300 PAR, it’s started showing more color. The branching form is unique and adds great structure to the tank.

Great coloration and growth potential. I followed the lighting and flow recommendations exactly. The coral has developed a nice contrast between its tips and body. It’s one of the most visually striking frags I’ve added.
