ORA Joe the Coral Acropora

Either with or without a weird name, some legacy coral strains just won’t fade away when it comes to perennial popularity among diehard SPS enthusiasts. In the case of ORA’s Joe the Coral acro, it’s easy to see why. Staghorn type Acropora are remarkable enough just on account of their magnificent growth patterns alone. So why is this strain such a stand-out? Color, of course! This characteristically slender branching staghorn coral features a cactus green base and icy blue growth tips. The colors are so rich that they often look painted on! While many coral collectors may point out that this variety looks a lot like the Blue Voodoo, it is unique in its smoother texture, more chaotic growth pattern and even brighter green base coloration. A living piece of coralliculture history!

This time-honored classic is best placed at mid-upper tank height under medium-high lighting with moderate-strong water flow.

The Benefits of Farmed Joe the Coral Acropora

Grown in captivity, captive-bred livestock offers several significant advantages over wild specimens. It tends to be more resistant to disease, harbors fewer pests and is better capable of handling shipping/acclimation stress; therefore, it is specially adapted to living in an aquarium. By purchasing captive-bred Joe the Coral acros, you support the aquaculture of marine organisms and help to make our hobby more sustainable!
