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 the intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of buildup while avoiding a single constant blast.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag well and adjust placement gradually as it adapts to stronger light and flow.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but room around the colony helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as it develops.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed lightly and observe the tank’s overall nutrient balance.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. This advanced SPS coral responds best to consistency, so make adjustments slowly and avoid rapid parameter corrections. Observe polyp condition and coloration as conditions settle.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with consistent husbandry.
