The Tricolor Acropora arrived healthy and vibrant. It has grown well in my 120-gallon reef tank with proper lighting and flow. The colors are striking and it’s become a centerpiece. I’ve fragged it once and now have two healthy colonies.

Great color variation and fast growth. I’ve maintained stable water parameters and it’s thriving. The only challenge was adjusting the flow to match its needs, but once set, it’s been stable.

Highly recommended for reef enthusiasts. The tricolor pattern is unique and eye-catching. I’ve kept it for over six months and it shows no signs of stress or decline.
