Acanthastrea lordhowensis (Green) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green hues and robust growth. This premium frag is tank-bred and cultivated under expert conditions, ensuring a healthy specimen that will thrive in a well-maintained marine aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is best to keep the coral’s polyps gently swaying without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this frag on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the reef tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for polyp expansion.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Acanthastrea lordhowensis benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally peaceful but can extend sweeper tentacles at night.
Origin: Tank-bred in controlled aquaculture facilities, ensuring sustainable sourcing and reduced impact on wild populations.
Maximum Size: Colonies can grow to approximately 20 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
