Transform Your Tank with a Statement-Making SPS Showpiece

Looking for a signature Acropora that turns heads... The Bear Hug Acro is one of those named cultivars that earns its reputation the moment it opens under reef lighting. Its branching structure showcases a striking interplay of warm base tones and vivid polyp coloration that photographs as brilliantly as it looks in person. Rare, sought-after, and not always available — when we have it, it moves fast.

Like all Acropora, the Bear Hug rewards committed reefers willing to dial in stable, high-performance water chemistry. Given the right conditions, it develops into a full, textured colony with dense branching that becomes a true architectural centerpiece in any mature reef tank. Watching it color up and extend its polyps is one of the most satisfying experiences in the SPS hobby.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every specimen we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility before it ever reaches your door — so you receive a stable, acclimated coral that's ready to thrive from day one.

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.

Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Fish orders over $599 qualify for free shipping. 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.

When a listing is in our WYSIWYG collection and has one in stock, the coral in the photo is the exact frag or colony we pack for you.

Some listings use a representative photo. To pick the exact piece yourself, start with the WYSIWYG collection.
