Acanthastrea lordhowensis (Ultra) Tank-Bred Frag is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vivid colours and fleshy polyps. This ultra variant is tank-bred and cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and sustainable addition to your marine reef aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with adjustable intensity. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water movement to ensure adequate nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the rockwork. Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Acanthastrea can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Maintain stable water parameters and regular feeding to promote growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
This frag is a cultured specimen grown by DJM, ensuring responsible sourcing and excellent acclimation to captive conditions.
