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 avoid abrupt light changes, then maintain consistent intensity to support this Acropora coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation should keep water moving around the branches without leaving stagnant areas.

Placement

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

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave space for growth. Plan its location so expanding branches do not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Light provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be 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, observe polyp response and coloration, and make any husbandry adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS setup.

Consistent conditions and deliberate acclimation are key to long-term Acropora care.
