Green Slimer Acropora

About this coral

ASD Green Slimer Acropora is an SPS coral in the genus Acropora, sold under that shop’s named “slimer” variety. In a reef aquarium, Acropora are popular for building fast-growing, branching colonies (when kept in stable conditions) and for adding an energetic look to the upper and mid parts of the tank. This coral is typically used by SPS keepers who want demanding, light-hungry corals that respond well to strong, consistent water movement and reliable water chemistry.

Features:

• SPS Acropora generally need strong lighting to support the coral’s symbiotic algae
• High, turbulent flow helps deliver oxygen and food particles to the tissue while reducing boundary-layer buildup
• Stable, well-maintained reef parameters are important for Acropora long-term health
• Often performs best when placed where light and flow meet, such as higher in the aquascape
• As a branching coral, it typically benefits from careful placement away from areas of direct contact with other hardscape or corals
