Red Dragon Acro
Acropora carduus
Red Dragon Acropora – Sleek Form, Intense Color
The Red Dragon Acro is a true standout in the SPS world—celebrated for its smooth, slender pink-red branches, light pastel polyps, and delicate, airy structure that adds elegance and visual lift to any reefscape. Under strong lighting, the coral glows with a soft, saturated rose to coral-red hue, giving it a clean, refined appearance rarely found in fast-growing Acropora.
It thrives in high PAR with strong, randomized flow, developing a tall, open structure that creates visual space and balance among heavier, chunkier corals. Though less aggressive than thicker-branching acros, Red Dragon offers excellent polyp extension and steady vertical growth in stable systems.
