Judge Judy Acropora Coral

Judge Judy Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Judge Judy Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems able to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistency SPS corals require. Its care needs make it best for experienced hobbyists maintaining stable conditions.

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 keep lighting consistent to avoid unnecessary stress from abrupt changes.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris while avoiding stagnant areas around its branches.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure it firmly and adjust its position gradually if needed as it adapts to stronger light and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with nearby corals as branches develop and preserves water movement between colonies.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for support, with optional fine coral foods. Feed lightly when desired and avoid allowing excess food to accumulate in the system.

General Care

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

Consistency, secure placement, and strong circulation are central to its long-term care.
