Built to last in any tank
Crafted from durable, non-toxic materials, our artificial corals are designed to thrive in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Each piece is completely safe for all aquatic life and resists wear from water flow, cleaning, and active fish.

Benefits over live corals
Live corals are stunning, but they come with complications, including pests like red bugs, acropora-eating flatworms, and the threat of diseases. They also require specific parameters, frequent monitoring, and dosing of elements like calcium. Our artificial counterparts eliminate these concerns.
Acropora species from the Indo-Pacific
From bold branching structures to more compact formations, our collection offers a wide range of lifelike replicas that suit both artistic reefscapes and biotope recreations. Whether you're designing a tank reminiscent of the reefs off Fiji or adding a dramatic focal point to your aquarium, these pieces bring authentic reef character without the care demands of live corals.

Even in sensitive systems, these corals provide a consistent visual impact without compromising stability. Enjoy the elegance of Acropora species without the complexities of live care.
What makes Acropora so special?
Acropora corals are small polyp stony (SPS) corals that play a crucial role in natural reef building. They grow in colonies, forming complex structures with radial corallites that create shelter and breeding grounds for many marine species. Making the coral a perfect part of every aquarium, even in an artificial form.
Inspired by nature, engineered for reliability
Our coral models replicate real-world specimens from the Caribbean, Indo Pacific, and beyond. Their coloration and flowing form enhance both nano tanks and large displays.
Great for educational and commercial settings
Beyond the home aquarium, our artificial corals are used in museums, schools, aquariums and other commercial environments worldwide. They demonstrate species diversity, coral anatomy, and the importance of reef preservation.
Artificial Acropora Corals with natural inspiration
Our artificial Acropora corals are inspired by real reef formations, including species like Acropora spathulata. Designed to look as close to nature as possible, they come in rich tones like blue, green, and brown, offering a realistic aesthetic without the stress of maintaining live corals.
In the wild, Acropora can be slow-growing and highly sensitive to pollution and shifting water conditions. Problems like tissue loss can happen gradually, and coral growth may stall due to changing environments. Our replicas eliminate these risks while still giving your tank the structure and beauty of real corals, ideal for both private and commercial displays.
We base our product designs on visible traits common to Acropora species, including surface texture, radial corallites, and form, which are often important in determining coral types. Whether you're replicating a wild reef environment or building a custom aquascape, our corals add both aesthetic appeal and functional shelter for swimming fish.
Many Acropora types, especially those listed in the Federal Register, are difficult to keep in tanks due to their unique care requirements. Our artificial alternatives let you enjoy the beauty of species like Acropora spathulata without the pressure. Plus, they’re perfect for hobbyists who find taxonomy fascinating but prefer a maintenance-free solution.
Acropora are commonly used to structure reef aquariums because of their branching shapes and dramatic visual impact. With no need for perfect conditions, they make an interesting and practical choice for any tank setup.
