Acropora lokani | XL

Acropora lokani is a visually stunning SPS coral prized for its vibrant colours and intricate branching structure. This Extra Large specimen is perfect for experienced reef keepers looking to add a dramatic focal point to their marine aquarium.

Lighting: Acropora lokani thrives under intense lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED, T5, or metal halide systems. Aim for a PAR range of 250-400 µmol/m²/s to support healthy photosynthesis and vibrant coloration.

Water Flow: This coral requires strong, turbulent water flow to mimic its natural reef environment. Adequate flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes gas exchange, essential for coral health.

Placement: Position Acropora lokani in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where lighting and water movement are strongest. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.

Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and environmental changes, this species is recommended for advanced aquarists with stable, mature reef systems.

Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026 SG, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels (nitrate <5 ppm, phosphate <0.03 ppm).

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.

Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality, along with targeted supplementation of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, will support robust growth and vibrant colours.
