FAQs Common questions about TSA Fruity Pebbles Acropora XL Frag Coral

How can I keep the “blueberry” polyps and pink base colors from fading on Blueberry Shortcake Acropora?

Aim for high PAR (300–450) with strong blue/UV, stable alkalinity 7.5–8.3 dKH, and balanced nutrients: nitrate 2–10 ppm, phosphate 0.02–0.08 ppm. Too-clean water or phosphate spikes wash out pinks; excess iron can push green hues. Increase flow and light slowly over 2–3 weeks. Occasional amino dosing at night supports polyp vigor without overfeeding.

Why do the branch tips burn or “melt” after I increase kalkwasser or adjust my reactor?

Rapid alkalinity or pH jumps cause tip necrosis in A. microclados. Keep daily alk swing under 0.3 dKH, and spread dosing across 24 hours with strong, random flow across tips. If damage occurs, stabilize parameters, trim necrotic ends to healthy flesh, and reduce light 10–15% for a week to ease stress while tissue recovers.

What flow pattern best prevents shadowing and dead spots inside its dense branches?

Use intersecting, pulsed gyres or alternating crossflow to create chaotic turbulence around 30–50× turnover. Periodically vary intensity to flush detritus from between short radial corallites. Position one pump slightly downward to sweep the base, and another higher to ruffle tips. Avoid a constant, direct jet that can erode growth tips and cause asymmetry.

How do I detect and manage subtle pest issues that target A. microclados?

Watch for tiny bite marks between corallites, reduced daytime polyp extension, and sand-like eggs on undersides—signs of AEFW. Inspect at night with a flashlight. Implement weekly dips (e.g., iodine or specialized treatments), turkey-baste to dislodge juveniles, and use a white container to check rinse water. Consider an interceptor course for red bugs if polyp behavior stays muted.
