Orange Passion Acropora Coral

Orange Passion Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Orange Passion Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require.

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 brighter exposure, then maintain consistent lighting to support this SPS coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Broad, changing circulation helps keep the coral clear of settling debris without creating stagnant areas.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals as branches develop.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe polyp response and tissue condition when making gradual adjustments to flow, placement, or lighting.

Best maintained in a mature reef with consistent daily conditions.
