CCH Icarus Granulosa Acropora

CCH Icarus Granulosa Acropora

CCH Icarus is a Carolina Coral Heads lineage known for its gold-to-chartreuse body, highlighter-yellow polyps and contrasting pale-blue growth tips.

Our Reef Culture Co. mother-colony photograph shows how this lineage presents under our blue reef lighting. Its color and contrast will vary with spectrum, nutrients, flow, maturity and system stability.

Lineage and history

CCH Icarus is an established Carolina Coral Heads lineage commonly identified as Acropora granulosa. A detailed original import or release story has not been publicly documented, so we will not invent one.

This is the standard CCH Icarus lineage—not the separate grafted selection that appeared later.

What to expect

This is a cut-to-order listing. You will receive an approximately ¾-inch frag cut from the Reef Culture Co. mother colony and allowed to heal for at least 10 days before shipping.

The photographs and video show the mother colony rather than the exact frag. Branch shape, tip coloration and polyp presentation will vary between pieces.

Care

• Care level: Advanced
• Lighting: Medium-high to high; acclimate gradually
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent
• Placement: Middle to upper reef after acclimation
• Stability: Consistent alkalinity with measurable nutrients

Despite the name, flying it directly into maximum light on day one is still a bad plan.
