Achilles Wilsoni Coral

Achilles Wilsoni Coral - Care Requirements

Achilles Wilsoni Coral is a fleshy large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to a reef setup that can provide gentle placement, stable conditions, and careful acclimation. Its fleshy tissue benefits from protection against abrasion and excessive water movement.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or protected lower reef area
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with a gentler exposure during acclimation and observe the coral before making placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the fleshy tissue while still keeping the area clear.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Choose a stable, non-abrasive surface away from sharp rock, direct flow, and shifting substrate.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because it is semi-aggressive. Avoid close placement where contact could damage its fleshy tissue or create stinging risk.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized meaty foods may be offered when practical, while avoiding food buildup around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and acclimate gradually. Check that the specimen remains secure and protected from abrasive surfaces, sharp rock, and direct flow. Regular observation helps identify whether lighting, flow, or placement needs adjustment.

A stable, sheltered position supports long-term care of this fleshy LPS coral.
