Tear Jerker Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Tear Jerker Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions expected by advanced SPS keepers.

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.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without directing a constant blast at one area.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow room for its future growth.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should not crowd it as branches develop.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally as part of an established feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral closely after placement or any system change. This advanced SPS coral benefits from a mature, consistently managed reef aquarium.

Best maintained in a stable reef with deliberate, consistent husbandry.
