TSA Nightshade Acropora Coral

Introducing the TSA Nightshade Acropora Coral, a spectacular specimen ideal for the advanced reef aquarist. This unique SPS coral is a cut-to-order frag, ensuring you receive a freshly prepared specimen that's ready to thrive in your aquarium. Please allow up to 2 weeks for healing, with a recommended shipping date at least one week from purchase. Each frag measures between 1/2 - 3/4 inch, perfect for establishing its presence in any reef tank.

For placement, we suggest securing your new coral with IC gel glue or putty on a rock or ledge where it will receive direct lighting and ample flow, essential for its growth and coloration. When it comes to feeding, Top Shelf Aquatics recommends a combination of Zooplanktons, Phytoplanktons, Amino Acids, and other Organic Proteins. A daily broadcast feeding with return and circulation pumps off ensures optimal nutrient uptake.

Hard corals like the TSA Nightshade Acropora thrive under high water flow and intense lighting. Suitable lighting options include T5's, Metal Halides, or LEDs, provided they meet the coral's PAR level needs. A 14-20K color spectrum is advised for vibrant coloration. With proper care, this high-level coral will become a stunning centerpiece in your reef aquarium.
