The Aussie Dragonscale Spathulata is one of the most sought-after Acropora morphs in the hobby — prized for its dense, overlapping corallites that give it that unmistakable \"dragonscale\" texture no other coral replicates. Sourced from the pristine reefs of Australia, this piece carries the kind of provenance and visual complexity that separates a serious reef tank from the rest. The specimen shown displays striking purple pink tips over a teal green base, a color combination that makes it an immediate focal point in any saltwater aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Spathulata morphs, this coral rewards patient, skilled aquarists with steady upward and lateral growth that over time becomes a showstopping table or branching colony. It thrives when given prime real estate — open water column, strong flow, and consistent parameters — and responds to quality care with vivid coloration and rapid encrusting at the base. This is the kind of addition that defines a build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aussie Acro Dragonscale Spathulata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies by available stock — contact us for current sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive (will sting neighboring corals; provide adequate spacing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photosynthetic; benefits from broadcast feeding of amino acids and coral-specific micro-nutrients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (with caution around adjacent corals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76–79°F, salinity 1.025–1.026, alkalinity 8–9 dKH, calcium 420–440 ppm, magnesium 1300–1350 ppm; high lighting and high flow required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Aussie Acro we offer at The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our systems until it is actively feeding and stable — so when it arrives in your reef tank, it's ready to thrive, not just survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Coral Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68031103631635,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3647\/2595\/files\/IMG_4892.jpg?v=1794718978","url":"https:\/\/thecoralboutique.com\/products\/aussie-acro-dragonscale-spathulata-conditioned","provider":"The Coral Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
