The Acropora corals arrived healthy and showed vibrant colours. After a few weeks under strong lighting and good flow, they began to grow steadily. The branching form adds great structure to the tank.
Lisa Buckland –
I’ve had several Acropora varieties before, and this batch has the most natural colour variation. Growth has been consistent, though they need stable water conditions to stay healthy.

Excellent choice for a reef tank with strong lighting. The polyps are detailed and active. I appreciate the variety in growth forms, which makes the tank look more natural.
