Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Acropora parilis are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Acropora parilis, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Acropora parilis, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Husbandry

Acropora parilis
Quelch, 1886

From AIMS:

Characters: Colonies are clumps of irregularly curved branches on thick encrusting bases. Axial corallites are small and thick walled. Radial corallites are of one size and have prominent lower lips giving a scale-like appearance.

Similar Species: Acropora aspera, which has similar corallites but lacks an encrusting base, A. abrotanoides, which has a similar growth-form but has rasp-like radial corallites and A. loisettea, which has thin straight branches
