Acropora lokani is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its intricate branching structure and vibrant colours. This frag is DJM grown, ensuring a healthy, acclimatised specimen suitable for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora lokani thrives under strong lighting conditions, ideally provided by high-quality LED, T5, or metal halide fixtures. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support optimal photosynthesis.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy polyp extension. Position the frag where it receives turbulent, indirect flow rather than direct blasts.
Placement: Place this frag higher in the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its SPS nature, Acropora lokani requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance. It is best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Water Parameters: Maintain temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is reef safe but may engage in chemical warfare or overgrowth if placed too close to other corals.
Origin: Not Provided
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15-20 cm in branching diameter under optimal conditions.
