Jewel Melt Acropora

About this coral

Jewel Melt Acropora is an aquarium trade Acropora SPS coral chosen for reef-keeping enthusiasts who want the challenge and reward of small-polyp stony coral growth. While “Jewel Melt” describes a seller-named variety, Acropora (as a group) generally require strong, aquarium-appropriate lighting and strong, multidirectional water flow, along with stable water chemistry. In practice, this makes it a good pick for established reef tanks where you can maintain consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, and pH.

Features:

• SPS coral (Acropora group) known for needing high-intensity light to support growth and overall tissue health. ([hightidecorals.com](https://www.hightidecorals.com/species-spotlight/acropora-coral?utm_source=openai))
• Strong, changing flow is important—Acropora are adapted to surf-like, multidirectional movement rather than a single dead-end jet. ([nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au](https://nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au/blogs/educational-center/acropora-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Prioritizes stability: consistent major-element chemistry helps reduce stress from parameter swings. ([reefcultureco.com](https://reefcultureco.com/pages/acropora-coral-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Best placed where light reaches the colony from multiple angles (not only from directly above). ([signaturefrags.com](https://signaturefrags.com/pages/acropora-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Generally suited to mature, well-maintained reef systems rather than tanks with frequent fluctuations. ([reefcultureco.com](https://reefcultureco.com/pages/acropora-coral-care-guide?utm_source=openai))
• Group-level guidance only: specific morph traits (growth form, exact coloration) are not verified from the provided listing context.

Specifications:

• Care level (group guidance): Advanced—Acropora SPS generally need high light, strong flow, and stable water parameters.
• Lighting: High-intensity reef lighting suitable for SPS; prioritize strong, consistent illumination.
• Water flow: Strong, multidirectional, turbulent flow.
• Temperature: 78–80°F (group guidance). ([fastaquatics.com](https://fastaquatics.com/care/sps-husbandry/?utm_source=openai))
• Salinity: 1.025–1.026 specific gravity (about 34–36 ppt). ([fastaquatics.com](https://fastaquatics.com/care/sps-husbandry/?utm_source=openai))
• pH: About 8.0–8.4 (group guidance). ([outerreef.com.au](https://outerreef.com.au/guides/acropora-care/?utm_source=openai))
• Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH (group guidance). ([fastaquatics.com](https://fastaquatics.com/care/sps-husbandry/?utm_source=openai))
• Calcium: 420–450 ppm (group guidance). ([fastaquatics.com](https://fastaquatics.com/care/sps-husbandry/?utm_source=openai))
• Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm (group guidance). ([fastaquatics.com](https://fastaquatics.com/care/sps-husbandry/?utm_source=openai))
