Transform Your Tank with One of Acropora's Most Coveted Colorways
Looking for a show-stopping SPS centerpiece... The TSA Grape Ape is a named, pedigreed Acropora from Top Shelf Aquatics with a reputation that precedes it across the reef-keeping community. Rich violet-purple branching tips set against deep blue-green base coloration make this one of the most visually striking Acros in the hobby — a genuine conversation piece in any mature reef tank. Availability on large frags like this one is rare, and demand consistently outpaces supply.
This large frag gives you a head start — more established tissue, faster encrusting, and a stronger foundation for explosive branching growth under proper SPS conditions. Grape Ape rewards dedicated aquarists with rapid, dense polyp extension and color that intensifies under high-output reef lighting. Once settled into a stable, high-flow environment, this coral becomes an undeniable focal point.
