Java Cultured Acropora
Tonga Acropora
Acroporas are many reefkeepers' favorites,
and for good reason!! They are one of
main "reef building" types of
corals that so many picture in their minds
when they think "corals."
They are as diverse as they are beautiful,
with well over a hundred species often
available to the hobbyist.

Bali Cultured Acropora
However they are not recommended for "newbies."
You should NOT "cut your teeth" on them ...
learn corals with easier, less sensitive, less
expensive types (such as leathers, mushrooms,
polyps, LPS - large polyped stony - corals),
and then, after gaining experience and
understanding the husbandry required,
graduate to Acroporas, and other SPS
( small polyped stony ) corals.
We offer Acroporas in box lots
(usually a dozen) direct from the overseas
suppliers. We have only the highest quality
animals from independent "old-timer" shippers
who know their stuff beyond your imagination.
Our products are not the cheaper,
commonly commercially available ones.
They are unique Grade AAA pieces.
There is a one box minimum - one box
minimum (just one!) from *any single
given site of origin* ... your order
will be packed for you at the
island of origin.
The wild pieces run from golf ball (small)
sized to hand ball to tennis ball sized (medium),
with some ranging to baseball to softball
sized (large) ... aquaculture sizing typically
runs a notch smaller than wild sizing.
Most aquaculture pieces are golf ball to
hand ball, or tennis ball sized, at best.

Note: When ordering from Species List, your order may or may not exactly match your list for various reasons, such as there were no CITES permits that week for that type or they weren't looking good, and often, subs will be of a similar appearing species. Often, the lists are filled almost exactly, but not always and we can't completely control the selection on any given week, order, or box. Actual quantities may vary slightly ... adjustments will be made after your shipment arrives.
Prices above are FOB (freight on board) LAX. You pay domestic freight to your local airport from LAX. Different sources usually arrive on different days and can't be joined, except for Sulawesi and Surabaya. The corals get to you the day after the "LAX" day shown above. We have supplied these corals to wholesalers, stores, and the biggest farmers in the country. You will be very satisfied too.
Most boxes will have at least couple or a few pieces you will have never seen, or maybe saw in a picture once. Most people say they have not ever seen pieces like these.
Their health is great. DOA's are zero. So, if you are thinking of doing some Acropora stocking or fragging, I assure you that you would be thrilled with any of the boxes above.
E-mail received from customer ...
"Well I received the two boxes around 4pm today.Anyways, all is well, one was dead in the normal
dry bag with rock salt. Another was dead in a bag
with brown stinky water. So 2 DOA and 28 live corals,
I am very pleased with those odds! These corals are
of much better quality than the Bali ones."
Thanks again!

A message from Birdfish ...
Fraggers who have purchased these have received a dozen-plus frags or more (immediately) per piece, from any of the origin sites.
There are some pictures of the Fiji and Tonga Acropora on the site here that can give an idea of the pieces you get.
They are "World Class" or they wouldn't be here!
If you split a box with a buddy, make darn sure you have absolutely decided picking terms BEFORE you crack that box open!! We will not be responsible for any injuries....
Happy Acros!!
