Acropora gomezi is a stunning small-sized SPS coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant colours. This species is suitable for experienced hobbyists who can provide the stable, high-quality conditions it requires.
Lighting: Acropora gomezi thrives under strong lighting, ideally provided by high-output LED, T5, or metal halide systems. Aim for intense PAR levels to support healthy photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote gas exchange and nutrient delivery. Position the coral where it receives indirect but steady currents.
Placement: Place this coral higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: This coral is best suited to intermediate to advanced aquarists due to its sensitivity to water quality fluctuations.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral-specific foods such as phytoplankton or amino acid supplements.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
Regular monitoring of water parameters, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is essential for optimal growth.
