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 it gradually to higher intensity to help avoid stress from abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep water moving around the coral without creating stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and ample random flow.

Temperament

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

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and watch for changes in polyp appearance or tissue condition after placement or maintenance.

Best maintained in an established reef with consistent, attentive care.
