Acanthastrea Echinata
This Acanthastrea Echinata carries a deep, mottled blue-purple body with soft green highlights breaking through the texture — a cooler, more subdued palette than some of the brighter Echinata colourways, with real depth up close thanks to the large, fleshy polyp structure this species is known for.
Acan Echinata is generally a bit more forgiving and faster-growing than some of the smaller-polyped Acan species, making it a solid choice if you want serious visual impact without a fussy coral to manage.
Care basics
- Lighting: Low to moderate. Acans generally prefer the lower end of the tank and can lose colour under overly intense light.
- Flow: Low to moderate. Gentle, indirect flow is best — heavy flow can damage the fleshy polyps.
- Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium matter more than chasing exact numbers.
- Feeding: Not required, but it will take finer coral foods if offered.
- Handling: Generally peaceful, but give it space from more aggressive neighbours.
Supplied as a 3cm frag plug.
