Acropora speciosa is a species of Acro that grows into an exotic bottle brush shape. Often overshadowed by Acropora echinata, A. speciosa rarely sports the super exotic colors that we see in the books, but that hardly matters now that it seems like we’ll soon be seeing two beautiful colors of this exquisite bottlebrush acro. Whatever their real name, the new maricultured colnies of Acropora speciosa that will soon be coming out of Bali are freaking awesome. Better yet, although some of the first few colonies will likely go to high rollers, hopefully in a short time we should see more small maricultured colonies of Acropora speciosa selling at a similar size and price as the now widely distributed Acropora hoeksemai.
