Acanthastrea bowerbanki (Premium) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vivid colours and robust nature. This tiny, tank-bred specimen is perfect for hobbyists seeking to add a splash of colour and texture to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to maintain vibrant pigmentation without causing stress.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the coral healthy by preventing detritus accumulation while avoiding tissue damage.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the rockwork. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for polyp expansion.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Acanthastrea bowerbanki benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and colour.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing due to its potential for aggressive sweeper tentacles.
This tiny, tank-bred coral is sourced responsibly and acclimatised for optimal health in captive reef environments.
