PC Rainbow Acropora
Species: Acropora spp.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Branching Acropora
Description:
PC Rainbow Acropora is a colorful SPS coral prized for its vibrant coloration and intricate branching growth form. With strong lighting and dynamic water movement, its colors can become especially pronounced, creating an eye-catching centerpiece for an established reef aquarium. Like other Acropora, it benefits from stable water chemistry, consistent nutrient levels, and plenty of room to develop into a mature colony.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Branching Acropora
Lighting: Moderate to High – approximately 200–400 PAR
Flow Rate: Moderate to High – strong, turbulent flow that provides thorough water movement throughout the branches
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 adequate spacing should be maintained as the colony grows.
Placement: Best positioned on stable mid to upper-level rockwork where it can receive strong, consistent lighting and turbulent flow. Avoid direct contact with neighboring corals.
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.
