Originating from the Coral Sea, this coral is suited for advanced marine aquarists who can provide the stable, high-quality conditions required for optimal growth.
Lighting: This coral thrives under intense lighting, such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems, to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure it receives ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and tissue damage.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity, this coral is recommended for experienced hobbyists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and consistent water quality.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is advised to provide sufficient space and stable conditions.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Regular monitoring of water parameters, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is crucial for the health and growth of this Acropora species.
