Placement and Water Flow

Place this Acropora in the middle-to-upper portion of an established reef aquarium. Provide moderate-to-strong, indirect water movement that reaches around and between its compact branches.

Leave sufficient space between the coral and neighboring specimens to allow for future growth and prevent contact.

Lighting and Acclimation

Medium-to-high reef lighting will support healthy growth and help showcase its purple tips and bright green base. Its coloration is especially impressive under blue and actinic lighting.

Begin the coral in moderate lighting and gradually acclimate it to higher intensity. Stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, and nutrient levels are essential for long-term Acropora health.
