SC Orange Passion Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

SC Orange Passion Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef systems. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established SPS-focused reef aquariums where strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent maintenance can be provided. Its care needs call for deliberate acclimation and close attention to long-term 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 avoid abrupt changes in exposure. Once adjusted, this Acropora is best maintained under consistently strong illumination.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the coral from changing directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas, which do not meet the needs of this SPS coral.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and varied flow without being shaded or exposed to abrupt environmental changes.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room around it for future growth. Plan placement carefully so neighboring corals do not crowd its space as the colony develops.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides its primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally as part of a broader, stable reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral regularly after changes to lighting, flow, placement, or routine aquarium maintenance.

Best suited to a stable, established reef with attentive SPS care.
