SC Orange Passion Acropora

SC Orange Passion Acropora - Care Requirements

SC Orange Passion Acropora is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced SPS care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent flow, and consistent conditions expected by SPS corals.

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 intended intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varying current helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without leaving stagnant areas around the branches.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow it to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Allow space for future growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but adequate separation helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as branches develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Avoid overfeeding and maintain stable nutrient conditions.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. This advanced coral benefits from regular observation and measured adjustments; avoid rapid parameter corrections or abrupt changes in flow and light.

Best maintained in a stable, established SPS-focused reef system.
