Domicile disrupter Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Domicile disrupter Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef systems. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require. Its care is best approached with deliberate acclimation and close attention to system stability.

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 and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Sudden lighting changes can be stressful, so adjust exposure carefully while observing its response.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent water flow that reaches the colony from changing directions. Avoid stagnant areas where detritus can settle around the coral.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow space for growth despite its generally peaceful temperament. Plan neighboring coral placement carefully so expanding branches have room and do not become crowded.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides its primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, with feeding kept appropriate for the overall nutrient balance of the reef.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and monitor the coral closely after any system adjustment so changes can be made gradually when needed.

Best kept in a stable, established reef with attentive maintenance.
