WWC Terra Red Acropora
Species: Acropora spp.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Branching Acropora
WWC Terra Red Acropora is a striking small polyp stony coral prized for its rich red coloration and intricate branching growth pattern. Its vibrant coloration can become especially intense under blue-spectrum lighting, while the densely packed branches create a detailed and highly textured appearance as the colony matures. This combination of bold color and classic Acropora structure makes it an excellent addition to an established SPS reef aquarium.
Coral Type: SPS Coral / Acropora
Lighting: Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 200–400 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; strong, turbulent water movement helps deliver nutrients and oxygen while keeping debris from accumulating between branches
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; consistent nutrient availability and occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods may support healthy growth and coloration
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally non-aggressive, but adequate spacing should be maintained as the colony develops and branches toward neighboring corals
Placement: Best placed on stable upper or mid-level rockwork where it can receive strong, consistent lighting and turbulent flow. Allow sufficient room for the colony to branch and expand without contacting nearby corals.
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
