Judge Judy Acropora Coral

Judge Judy Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Judge Judy Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with a branching SPS growth form. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent flow, and consistent conditions advanced SPS corals require. Its branching form makes thoughtful placement and room for future growth important.

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 higher intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora coral without sudden changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the branching structure clear while avoiding low-flow or stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly where it receives strong light and broad, changing flow.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but its branching structure can eventually crowd nearby corals if placement is too tight.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for nutrition, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Avoid overfeeding and keep feeding practices consistent with overall nutrient stability.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. This is an advanced-care SPS coral, so observe its response closely and avoid rapid parameter corrections or abrupt changes in flow and light.

Stable conditions and patient acclimation are key to long-term Acropora care.
