Acropora loisetteae is a striking species of Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid colours and intricate branching structure. This Extra Extra Large specimen is perfect for experienced marine aquarists looking to add a dramatic focal point to their reef aquarium.
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 strong, turbulent water flow is essential to ensure optimal gas exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation around the coral’s branches.
Placement: Position Acropora loisetteae in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: This species requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance, making it suitable for advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth. Regular monitoring of water quality is recommended to ensure long-term health.
