Overview

'Tricolor Valida' is a widely aquacultured lineage traded as Acropora valida, named for the contrast of three colors — purple, green and white/blue. It is hardy and grows fairly fast, suiting beginner-to-intermediate SPS keepers. Keep it under moderate-to-strong light and flow; stronger light deepens the purple. As a trade name, we treat it here as a lineage.
