Acropora Carduus green

Acropora Carduus green  is an SPS coral of the genus Acroporidae.  

Acropora carduus is a fast-growing, thin-branching species of SPS coral which comes in a few color forms, none more popular and widespread in the reef keeping hobby than the venerable ‘Red Dragon Acropora‘. First introduced to the reef aquarium scene in the early 2000s by Indonesian maricultures. Its unique light pink coloration and blue to lilac tips is unique among Acropora and it really shines under broad daylight spectrum lighting. These are all deep water acro's so do not require bright light.

Acropora’s are generally for the more experienced aquarist with aquariums having matured for at least a year. Acropora corals are generally branching or tabling and have some of the most striking colours in the coral world.
