WWC Yellow Tip Austera Acro

Species: Acropora spp.

Coral Type: SPS (Small Polyp Stony Coral)

WWC Yellow Tip Austera Acropora is a premium branching SPS coral prized for its sharp contrast and refined growth form. It develops tight, upright branches with dense polyp coverage and distinctive bright yellow growth tips that stand out against its deeper base coloration. The combination of creamy to greenish body tones with vivid yellow tips creates a clean, high-contrast “glowing tip” effect that becomes especially striking under blue-spectrum lighting.

As colonies mature, they form structured, tree-like growths that add height, movement, and color definition to SPS-dominated reef systems.

Coral Type: SPS
Lighting: High (approximately 200–350 PAR)
Flow Rate: High; strong, chaotic, and random flow is essential for healthy growth and polyp extension
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; requires stable parameters and may benefit from occasional amino acids or ultra-fine SPS coral nutrition
Aggression: Peaceful; lacks sweeper tentacles but needs ample spacing due to fast vertical branching growth
Placement: Best placed in upper reef zones with strong lighting and intense, turbulent flow where it can grow freely without shading 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 any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
