This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions associated with Acropora care. Its individual appearance is represented by the listed specimen.

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

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Strong reef lighting
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent flow
• Placement: Middle to upper reef areas after acclimation
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
• Care Level: Advanced

Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting. Acclimate gradually to higher intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this SPS coral without sudden changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep water moving around the coral while avoiding stagnant areas and excessive buildup.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the specimen firmly and adjust its position gradually as it adapts to the system’s lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as colonies develop and compete for available room.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally as part of a balanced reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral closely after placement or any system adjustment so changes can be made gradually.

Best maintained in a stable, established reef with attentive Acropora care.
