The OA Natures Image Acropora is an incredibly exotic and one of a kind Acropora. Corallites are flared, cupped and edged with a bright blue pigmentation. Near branch tips the corallites are colored about half blue, while corallites located further down branches are just edged in blue. These lower corallites can also contain a turquoise coloration over the lower section of the corallite. Branch stems are cream to turquoise, while branch sections deep within the colony can be more green in color. Polyps are colored dark blue and partially extend during the daytime.

Another amazing Acropora find by Brian Kim at Oculus Aquatics (OA). Brian culled and selected this exotic Acropora for cultivation. This species morph is one of the more rare colonies at OA and there only existed one such colony when this web page was constructed. All propagated fragments will be produced from the initial seed colony image above.

Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in a 130 gallon Raceway Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive moderate to strong light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. The first edition fragment of this coral is being sold on our Buy It Now page. Introductory list price is $125 for a small single branch fragment.
