Acropora horrida is a striking small-sized SPS coral known for its robust branching structure and vibrant colours, making it a prized addition to mature reef tanks. This species thrives under strong lighting and moderate to high water flow, which helps maintain its health and vibrant appearance.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Acropora horrida requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance to flourish.
Lighting: Provide strong, high-quality LED or metal halide lighting to support photosynthesis and growth.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water movement is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and promote gas exchange.
Placement: Place in the upper to mid-levels of the aquarium, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Regular monitoring of water parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is recommended to support skeletal growth. Feeding is generally not required but may benefit from occasional target feeding with coral-specific supplements.
