The BKchem Fruit Loops Acropora is a collector-grade SPS coral that earns its name with a dazzling display of multicolor polyps — think vivid greens, pinks, and oranges popping against a contrasting base. This is a WYSIWYG listing — the exact frag pictured is the one you will receive.
Aquacultured in-house at Reef Gurus, this Acropora is already conditioned to captive reef parameters, giving it a significant advantage over wild-collected specimens. At $149, this is a premium piece for the serious SPS keeper looking to add a true showstopper to their display.

Placement Notes
Place in the upper third of the rockwork where light and flow are strongest. Acropora are the most demanding SPS corals and thrive in ultra-stable, high-flow, high-light environments. Acclimate slowly to avoid bleaching — start lower and raise over 2–4 weeks. Best suited for established SPS systems with proven parameter stability.
