The Acanthastrea lordhowensis (Green) Premium Large is a captivating LPS coral prized for its vivid green hues and fleshy, textured polyps. Belonging to the Mussidae family, this coral adds both colour and structure to mature reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with adjustable intensity. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to ensure healthy polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the rockwork. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding of meaty foods such as mysis or brine shrimp to promote growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist with other peaceful LPS and SPS corals but may exhibit aggression if placed too close.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth. Regular water changes and monitoring of nitrate and phosphate levels will help maintain optimal health.
