Honeydew Acro

About this coral

Honeydew Acro is an Acropora (SPS) coral frag designed for reef aquariums where you can keep lighting and water movement intense and consistent. Acropora are small-polyp stony corals that benefit from high-energy conditions that support strong skeletal growth and stable polyp expansion, making them a good choice for hobbyists who can maintain reliable reef chemistry.

Features:

• SPS/Acropora-style care focus: strong, turbulent water flow helps keep tissue clean and reduces settling on the frag.
• High-intensity lighting is important for Acropora to maintain healthy coloration and growth.
• Best results come from stable, well-managed water chemistry rather than frequent parameter swings.
• Place the frag on secure rockwork so it can become stable in its high-light, high-flow position.
• Expect Acropora to be sensitive to sudden changes; acclimation and gradual placement adjustments are recommended in SPS care guidance.
• Recommended for aquarists aiming for SPS-dominant reef conditions and regular testing/maintenance to prevent drift in key parameters.

Specifications:

• Care level: Advanced (Acropora/SPS are commonly described as requiring ultra-stable conditions).
• Light: High-intensity lighting (SPS/Acropora care guidance emphasizes strong light).
• Water flow: Strong, chaotic/turbulent flow to support feeding and reduce detritus settling.
• Temperature: 76–78 °F (per common Acropora care guidance).
• Salinity: 1.025–1.026 specific gravity (per common Acropora care guidance).
• Alkalinity (dKH): 8–10 dKH (per common Acropora care guidance).
• Calcium (ppm): 400–450 ppm (per common Acropora care guidance).
• Magnesium (ppm): 1250–1350 ppm (per common Acropora care guidance).
