Purple Pillow Acro Coral (Acropora sp)

Written by Geoff on January 9, 2009 – 10:31 pm

Along with a new coral frag from original ORA stock I added today, I also installed a Pinpoint ORP probe in my tank attached to my RKE SL1 module.

(Temporary picture from web until my frag gets large enough or I get a better lens to take a good picture. )

Date Added: 01/09/2009
Tank: Cardiff
Status: Inactive 12/1/2011
Purchased at: Coral Corral
Cost: $20.00
Coloration: Purple body with purple polyps and purple growth tips
Lighting: 6 x 18w T-5
Description: Frag from original ORA Frag.
Light and Flow: For optimum coloration, it should be given a medium to high light levels such as T5 or metal halide lighting combined with medium to strong intermittent water current within the aquarium.
Supplements: It will require maintaining stable levels of calcium, magnesium, pH, alkalinity, and other trace elements as you would with other types of SPS corals. It is essential for SPS health to keep nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates near undetectable levels.
Feeding: While it does not require additional food to maintain its health, it will feed on micro-plankton and foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.
