Transform Your Tank with Australian Acropora Engineering at Its Finest

Looking for a show-stopping SPS centerpiece... The Aussie Acro Dragonscale Spathulata is one of the most architecturally striking Acropora available in the hobby today. Sourced from Australian waters, this piece commands attention in any high-end reef tank with its signature plating structure and intricate surface texture that earns it the "dragonscale" name. It is a rare find in the domestic market, and even rarer to find one conditioned and ready to thrive.

This specimen displays a vivid pink body with contrasting purple polyps, a color combination that photographs as dramatically as it appears in person. Acropora spathulata grows with deliberate, layered plating that expands beautifully under strong reef conditions, gradually building a sculpture-like presence in your saltwater aquarium. It is a genuinely rewarding coral for the dedicated SPS keeper who is ready to dial in their parameters and watch something exceptional develop.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every piece we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our systems until it is actively extending polyps and acclimating well — so what arrives at your door is a specimen genuinely ready for reef life, not one still recovering from the supply chain.

If this coral is in our WYSIWYG collection and has one in stock, the photos show the exact frag or colony that ships to you. Otherwise, the photos may be representative.

Coral orders ship Monday through Wednesday. We confirm a delivery day with you before your order goes out, and we will hold it if the weather is bad or a coral needs more time in quarantine.

Free shipping is paused during the Vice Reef sale, through Nov 30. Florida addresses ship for $39.99. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.

Eligible coral orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the coral in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day.

For best results, acclimate slowly and place new corals in lower light and flow before moving them to their final position. Coral response can vary depending on tank stability, lighting, flow, and water parameters.

We photograph our corals in house, up close, so you can judge color, shape and polyp extension. For WYSIWYG listings with one in stock, the photographed coral is the exact coral that ships.
