SPS Corals
We Pamper our corals ! When you buy corals from Aquatic Connection, you can be assured you will buy live aquarium corals that have been pampered and properly cared for. Like any coral that has been collected and shipped halfway across the globe, ours arrive, understandably, in need of some rejuvenation. Which is why we do our best to downright pamper them during their stay. Whether you are interested in Live Acropora corals, Aquacultured corals, SPS corals, LPS corals, mushroom corals, polyping corals, zooanthus corals, leather corals, or any other soft coral, their treatment begins with a slow-drip acclimation to equalize temperature, ph and alkalinity. Then they are placed in our holding tanks where the water quality is perfect. High current wave action cleans any built up slime coat and loosens the sand and bacteria from their long journey. Their polyps begin to extend and reach out to the available food and light.

For lighting our corals are placed in appropriate lighting depending upon there needs. For low light corals, they are placed under Power Compacts. On corals that need extreme lighting, we use only the best 1000-watt, 6,700K metal halide lighting to which will awaken the sleeping polyps and color enhancing zooxanthellae. Under these conditions our corals thrive and nourish, until we send them on their way by picking with the most stringent quality controls, and packaginging them with the utmost care, and shipping by overnight carrier, to your door. All of this to ensure that each coral sold will reach your hands in the best condition possible.

Special Note on SPS Corals
All SPS Corals are considered advanced aquarist species, as such Aquatic Connection guarantees that SPS species offered will arrive alive and in great condition. Because of the increased level of care required for this particular species, it has been designated as "Advanced Aquarist Species," and due to the lighting and chemistry requirements, we suggest they only be placed in seasoned tanks with high quality lighting and the correct chemistry levels. As an Advanced Aquarist Species they are not guaranteed after arrival. 

Aquacultured SPS
Our aquacultured SPS corals are kept under 250 Watt, 10,000K double-ended HQI metal halide lighting.
Since these are aquacultured, they are fully acclimated to aquarium light, water and flow conditions.

Purple Rim capicornis
Only a few shipped per month
These aquacultured purple rim caps are at least 3rd generation tank raised. They have a deep purple rim and beautiful green center. For best eye candy, make sure your tank also has some actinic lighting. For the SPS family they are particularly hardy and fast growing. That, along with their sheer beauty, warrants their great popularity. Quite peaceful, it can be placed in close proximity to other similar peaceful corals in the reef aquarium. In an aquarium lit by metal halides, Montipora Corals should be kept in a mid to low position, and under other lighting they should be kept in a mid to high position. To bring out the most intense coloration of this coral, we recommend metal halide lighting. For continued good health, they will require the addition of a two part calcium and buffer supplement in order to maintain a calcium level of 400-450 ppm and dKH of 8-12. They will benefit from the addition of zooplankton.

Tank raised colonies are kept 14” below 250W 10KK Ushio metal halide lighting. Under great conditions they are developing intense purple coloration over the entire body surface. Perhaps it should be called a bicolor (purple with green polyps). The coral needs moderate to intense light to develop the purple over its entire surface. Purple branches can be maintained in weak to moderate lighting. It can also be cultured and grown into a new colony from living fragments or broken pieces, if conditions are ideal. For continued good health, it will require the addition of supplemental calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. The Purple Tri-color will thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, ranging from power compacts, VHO, T-5's up to the more intense metal halides. Alter their position in the aquarium depending on the lighting, and provide at least 5 watts per gallon using one of the lighting systems mentioned above. The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae are hosted within its body, so it receives the majority of its nutritional requirements from photosynthesis. While it does not require additional food to maintain its health in the reef aquarium, it will feed on micro-plankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.

Ocean Grown SPS CORALS

  Birdsnest Coral - Pink
Seriatopora hystrix
 The Birdsnest Coral is also referred to as Seriatopora Bird's Nest, Needle, Finger, or Brush Coral. It is a small polyp stony (SPS) coral with very delicate, thin branches with needle-like tips. It is found in a variety of shades of pink. These are very delicate, but beautiful corals that offer a variety of shape and bright coloration to a reef aquarium. The ideal conditions for the Acropora coral is an established reef aquarium with bright lighting provided by preferably intense metal halides. They can also thrive under multiple VHO's, T-5's or compact fluorescents if placed high in the aquarium. Under the right conditions, the growth rate of the Acropora coral is much more rapid than most of the other corals found in an established reef aquarium.To maximize their growth rate, it is imperative to maintain a high pH, alkalinity and calcium levels, and to keep phosphate and nitrate levels as close to zero as possible. If conditions are ideal, it can also be cultured and grown into a new colony from living fragments or broken pieces.Along with lighting and water quality, Acropora corals prefer strong, intermittent water flow within the aquarium. The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae are hosted within its body, so it receives the majority of its nutritional requirements from photosynthesis. While it does not require additional food to maintain its health in the reef aquarium, it will feed on micro-plankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.

Why Phytoplankton:
Phytoplankton is very important to marine life. It is the primary producers in the ocean. Crucial to the development and survival of most, if not all marine animals . But what is phytoplankton? It is just a fancy word for tiny floating plants (such as diatoms and dinoflagellates), which serve the same role in the food chains of the oceans as grass and shrubs serve on land; namely small things eat them. Many coral reef animals feed directly on phytoplankton. Some essential nutrients provided by phytoplankton cannot be synthesized by animals, and therefore are extremely important components of a healthy diet.

Notes:
1) Advanced Aquarist Species: We guarantee that ALL aquariam species offered will arrive alive and in good condition. However, because of the increased level of care required for this particular species, it has been designated as "Advanced Aquarist Species," and we cannot guarantee it after arrival. 
2)Lighting and coloration of corals: Please note not all corals from our tanks and lighting will look the same when they are in your tanks. Everybody's tanks have different lighting setups, spectrums, combinations, etc. Aquacon's tanks are light by 400 watt 20K Halide bulbs. We use these bulbs because it provides the perfect balance of natural white light along with the deeper actinic blue that corals need to bring out the correct colors and to thrive off of. If your tank consists of all daylight (10K's, 65K's etc.) with minimal actinic lighting, your not going to get as many of the vibrant true colors from your corals as you would with the correct lighting combination. If you need better descriptions of corals please feel free to contact us.
