Acropora anthocercis is a striking species of Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant hues. This extra large specimen offers a commanding presence in mature reef aquariums, making it a premium choice for experienced marine aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery, while preventing detritus accumulation on the coral’s surface.
Placement: Position Acropora anthocercis in the upper to middle regions of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are ideal. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: This species requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance, making it suitable for advanced hobbyists with established reef systems.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is recommended to support skeletal growth. Avoid sudden changes in water chemistry or lighting to prevent stress.
