About Fancy Tricolor Acropora
Tricolor Acropora earns its name from three colours on one colony: typically a green base, blue or purple branches and contrasting growth tips. It is a fast-growing staghorn-style coral once established, but the colours only hold under strong light and low, steady nutrients. Best added to a reef that already grows other Acropora well.
Fancy Tricolor Acropora care at a glance
- Lighting: High – 250 to 400 PAR from quality LEDs or T5s
- Water flow: Strong and turbulent, changing direction through the day
- Placement: Upper rockwork, with room for the colony to grow outward
- Feeding: Photosynthetic; benefits from amino acids and fine coral foods
- Care level: Advanced – needs stable alkalinity, calcium and low nutrients
For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
