The Red Dragon Acropora is a very unique and distinctly red purple pigmented Acropora that grows into bottle brush staghorn formations. That growth form itself is very unique and it can be difficult to maintain such delicately formed Acropora in captivity. The Red Dragon not only grows well, but it only requires weak light conditions. And on top of all that the coral develops a solid distinct red purple pigmentation. The color and growth form were used to develop this corals captive marketing name, Red Dragon. Polyps also develop solid white pigmentation in addition to all the above.

Reeffarmers acquired our seed section and first edition fragment of the Red Dragon Acropora directly from Tony Huynh of Coral in the Reef/Reef Raft USA Tony is located in 7653 Garden Grove Blvd. Garden Grove CA (reefraftusa@gmail.com)Orange County Southern California. Tony named the coral Red Dragon, but he originally acquired the coral from Jay (reefraft). He recommends low light and weak current as the best environment for this coral. Please note that this branching bottle brush Acropora only rarely develops extensive base encrustations in captivity. Branches do grow and lengthen very well in captivity.

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 low light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. The price of this coral per small fragment consisting of a single polyp will be determined by the first edition auction below.
