CCH Icarus Acropora
The CCH Icarus Acropora is a breathtaking collector-grade SPS coral celebrated for its brilliant golden coloration and exceptional contrast. This highly sought-after Acropora develops a vibrant yellow to gold base accented by fiery orange corallites and subtle pink to red highlights, creating a radiant display that glows under reef aquarium lighting.
Under high-intensity lighting and stable reef conditions, the fluorescent yellow pigments intensify throughout the colony while bright golden growth tips emerge along the branches. Contrasting warm-colored corallites add depth and complexity, giving the coral a dynamic appearance that becomes increasingly impressive as it matures.
As the colony develops, the CCH Icarus forms an elegant branching structure with excellent polyp extension and remarkable color retention. Its brilliant gold coloration and warm highlights create a striking visual impact that stands apart from more traditional green and blue Acropora varieties, making it a true centerpiece in any SPS-dominated reef aquarium.
Thriving in strong, turbulent flow and high PAR lighting, the CCH Icarus rewards reef keepers with outstanding coloration, steady growth, and impressive colony development. Its radiant color palette, collector appeal, and proven lineage have made it a highly desirable addition for serious Acropora enthusiasts seeking a coral that truly shines.
