Vivid Confetti Acropora
The Vivid Confetti Acropora (Acropora sp., a premium aquacultured strain popularized by breeder Vivid Aquariums and Tidal Gardens) is a highly sought-after small polyp stony (SPS) coral in the reef aquarium hobby, renowned for its explosive multi-hued fluorescence and compact growth that makes it a dynamic, eye-catching addition to intermediate SPS displays.
Appearance
Structure: Compact, bushy branching with upright, finger-like projections radiating in a fractal pattern from a subtle encrusting base, forming a dense yet airy colony with smooth skin and evenly spaced polyps—ideal for adding vertical texture without overwhelming space.
Coloration: A pale green to cream-colored base blends seamlessly into hot pink and red polyps, accented by vivid blue and purple growth tips that resemble confetti bursts; under actinic or blue-enriched lighting, the colors fluoresce intensely, with potential for bright yellow highlights throughout under higher PAR levels, creating a rainbow-like iridescence.
Size and Growth: Frags typically start at ¾-1 inch, with fast growth rates once acclimated—capable of forming 4-6 inch colonies in 6-12 months, making it hardy and propagation-friendly.
