How to Choose a Healthy Acropora Coral
- Coloration:
Look for vibrant, consistent coloration - blues, pinks, greens, and multicolor tips are highly valued. Dull or brown frags may indicate stress. Healthy Acropora often show pale or white tips at branch ends, indicating active growth.
- Tissue Health:
Choose frags with full tissue coverage and no exposed white skeleton. Avoid pieces with necrosis or recession at the base.
- Encrusting Base:
If the frag is mounted, check for signs that it has begun to encrust onto the plug or mounting surface. Encrusting is a strong indicator of recent, healthy growth and better long-term stability. Note that very fresh frags may not show encrusting yet, which isn’t necessarily a red flag if the tissue looks healthy.
