Enchanted Acropora

About this coral

Enchanted Acropora is an SPS stony coral commonly sold under the Acropora genus umbrella. Acropora corals are prized for their fast-growing, branching/tabling skeletal forms, and they’re best used in reef aquariums where you can provide strong lighting, strong turbulent water movement, and consistently stable water chemistry. Because “Enchanted Acropora” is a shop name, this listing should be treated as an Acropora coral group member and cared for using general Acropora husbandry guidance rather than relying on any unverified morph-specific traits.

Features:

• SPS (Acropora) corals generally require high light for healthy growth and coloration
• They benefit from strong, turbulent flow to deliver oxygen and help keep their surfaces clear
• Care depends on stability: slow swings in alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and salinity matter
• They are typically considered challenging compared with many other reef corals due to sensitivity to parameter changes
• A more mature, well-established tank is recommended for success with Acropora
• Keep nutrients low-but-not-zero (aim to avoid excessive buildup rather than fully stripping nutrients)

Specifications:

• Care level: Difficult (high requirements and parameter sensitivity) (general Acropora husbandry)
• Light: High light (SPS-intense lighting required)
• Water flow: Strong, turbulent flow
• Temperature: About 76–78°F (24–26°C)
• Salinity (specific gravity): 1.025–1.026
• pH: About 8.0–8.4
• Alkalinity: About 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: About 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: About 1250–1350 ppm
