ACI Gold Rush Acropora Hyacinthus
Beautiful Acropora Hyacinthus frags, aqua-cultured by Underwater Gardener Key West. We are a full service saltwater aquarium shop in Key West with a strong focus on aqua-culture (FL Certificate #AQ0254072).
This coral is suitable for marine aquariums with an intermediate difficulty level. I have been growing this pest free for over 3 years! The photos are taken with no filter using a Sony A 7 IV with a Sigma Macro Lens. The video file is shot under blue spectrum.
You will receive a frag that is 3/4 inch. If you are interested in a larger colony, we have a few available, please message for more info.
If you want encrusted frags, please allow 3 weeks for processing otherwise I will ship a frag glued to a plug. I am more then happy to encrust one for you just notate it in the comments.
SHIPPING:
We ship UPS by default, if you want Fed-Ex, please message us. We ship on Tuesday and Wednesday for next day arrival. Special dates can be requested.
Live Arrival Guaranteed. It is imperative that you do not dip the corals upon arrival, they are at their most stressed point and they will peel. Corals should be put in a quarantine tank. If the coral is DOA, we need a photo of the coral in the bag within 4 hours of arrival.
We will give you a store credit or replacement (buyer pays) for any DOA, there are no cash refunds and shipping is non-refundable. However, we will do our best to take care of you in the event of any DOA.
Corals can detach from the plug during shipping, this is normal as they get bounced around during shipping.
Corals should be acclimated to temp and then placed in quarantine. We do our absolute best to avoid any pests, we still suggest you dip all corals after they have been placed in a quarantine tank for a few days.
Our SPS tank runs at around 350-400 par, we suggest you place the coral in slightly lower lighting and then move up over the course of a week. This works for us and it will also work for you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at anytime.
We appreciate your business, if you are ever in Key West, please stop by our showroom 🙂
Care Guide
Acropora is the classic, fast-growing SPS coral prized for its branching or table-forming growth and vivid, saturated coloration. It requires stable, mature reef parameters, strong lighting, and strong turbulent flow to thrive, making it best suited for intermediate to advanced reefers.
Live arrival is guaranteed. If your coral arrives DOA, photograph the animal inside the unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery confirmation and contact us right We will work with you on a resolution.
Placement: Upper third of the tank, on the highest point of rockwork with strong direct flow and intense light.
