Species: Acropora spp.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Branching Acropora
Description:
ARC Proximo Acropora is a striking SPS coral that can bring intricate branching structure and vibrant coloration to an established reef aquarium. Its compact branches and detailed growth form create excellent texture and dimension within an SPS-focused display. With strong, consistent lighting, turbulent flow, and stable water chemistry, this Acropora can develop into an impressive colony with time.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Branching Acropora
Lighting: Moderate to High – approximately 200–400 PAR
Flow Rate: Moderate to High – strong, turbulent flow that provides good water movement throughout the branching structure
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Stable nutrient levels are important, and occasional fine particulate foods may be offered as supplemental nutrition.
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive – generally not highly aggressive, but provide adequate spacing from neighboring corals as the colony grows.
Placement: Best placed on stable mid to upper-level rockwork where it can receive strong lighting and varied, turbulent flow. Avoid placing it where nearby corals can make direct contact.
Quarantine & Biosecurity:
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program designed to protect the health of our coral collection and help reduce the introduction of unwanted pests and pathogens. Each coral is carefully inspected and monitored before being made available, providing an added layer of confidence when introducing new specimens to your reef system.
