Under suitable reef lighting, its rich violet to deep purple branches provide the perfect backdrop for its vivid green polyps, giving this coral exceptional colour and texture within an SPS reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the endless stream of new designer Acropora entering the hobby, the GARF Bonsai has remained a favourite for good reason. It is an established old-school strain with fantastic colour, attractive growth and plenty of character — proof that sometimes the classics really are hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur GARF Bonsai Acropora is aquacultured by ReefGro and supplied as an established frag, grown within our own systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Level: Moderate \/ Advanced\u003cbr\u003eCoral Type: SPS\u003cbr\u003eLighting: Medium to High\u003cbr\u003eWater Flow: Strong, varied and indirect\u003cbr\u003ePlacement: Middle to Upper areas of the aquarium\u003cbr\u003eGrowth Form: Compact branching \/ bushy\u003cbr\u003eTemperament: Peaceful\u003cbr\u003eColour: Deep purple\/violet with bright green polyps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most Acropora, the GARF Bonsai performs best in a mature, stable reef aquarium. Consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity and nutrient levels are considerably more important than chasing individual numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide good turbulent water movement around the entire coral rather than placing it directly in front of a powerful wavemaker. Strong reef lighting will support both growth and colouration, although new frags should always be acclimated gradually to higher light levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReefGro Aquacultured\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral has been propagated and grown within our own aquaculture systems rather than being sold as a freshly imported wild coral. Aquaculturing allows us to continually grow and frag established stock while offering retail customers corals already accustomed to captive aquarium conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that coral colour can vary depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, nutrients and individual aquarium conditions. Photographs should therefore be used as a representation of the coral's potential colouration rather than an exact guarantee of how it will appear under different lighting systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ReefGro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56564917010815,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/9708\/2495\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_fff6ebb7-4bcc-49c0-b8a0-dc92069df47e.jpg?v=1768149514","url":"https:\/\/reefgro-2.myshopify.com\/products\/pearl-berry-acropora","provider":"ReefGro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
