Acropora gomezi is a spectacular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its robust branching and vivid colouration, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This extra large specimen offers an impressive display piece for advanced hobbyists aiming to create a dynamic and thriving SPS coral section.
Care Level: This coral requires stable, high-quality water parameters and is best suited to experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: High-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems is essential to support photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water movement is recommended to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery while preventing detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position Acropora gomezi in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water flow. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can engage in chemical warfare or overgrow nearby corals if placed too closely.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as coral-specific phytoplankton or amino acid supplements.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water conditions suitable for SPS corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to around 15-20 cm in height under optimal conditions.
