Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied movement helps keep water circulating around the branches without leaving stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow room for its structure as it develops.

Temperament

Give it space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but avoid crowding it with neighboring corals as the colony expands.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods may be offered as an optional supplement when appropriate for the system.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, observe the coral's response after changes, and make adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS setup.

Best suited to a stable reef maintained for demanding SPS coral care.
