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 after acclimation. Gradually introduce it to higher intensity to help prevent stress from abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Varied circulation helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without leaving it in stagnant areas.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and broad, changing water movement.

Temperament

Allow space for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but planning room around branches helps maintain separation from nearby corals as the colony develops.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for nutritional support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of an established reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, monitor its response after placement, and make adjustments gradually when needed.

Best maintained in an established reef with consistent, attentive husbandry.
