Its branching growth habit creates an intricate structure, providing visual interest and potential habitat for small reef inhabitants. The delicate polyps extend to capture food and contribute to the coral's overall health and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora thrive in high PAR levels, typically ranging from 300-500. Strong, turbulent flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and provide nutrients, but avoid direct, laminar flow that can cause tissue recession. Place this coral in the upper to middle sections of your aquascape where it can receive ample light and flow without being shaded by other corals. Good water parameters are crucial, with stable alkalinity (8-9 dKH), calcium (400-450 ppm), and magnesium (1300-1400 ppm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile primarily photosynthetic, Green Acropora benefits from supplemental feeding. Offer broadcast feeds of coral-specific foods or fine particulate matter several times a week. Maintain pristine water quality with nitrates below 10 ppm and phosphates below 0.05 ppm. Acropora are generally peaceful but should be given adequate space to grow without touching other corals, as some can be aggressive through sweeper tentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen acclimating, use a drip acclimation method over an hour or two to allow the coral to slowly adjust to your tank's water parameters. Ensure stable temperature and salinity. After acclimation, monitor for any signs of stress or tissue loss. This Acropora is a rewarding coral for experienced reef keepers, offering dynamic growth and brilliant coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding this Green Acropora to your tank will create a focal point of vibrant color and intricate structure. Its growth will add to the biodiversity and natural beauty of your reef, contributing to a thriving and aesthetically pleasing underwater ecosystem. With proper care, this coral will flourish and become a cherished part of your aquatic display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42359240327223,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260807-0QSK","price":145.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/be2d831a-1595-4444-a547-50d327acafba-_MG_4619.png?v=1786129147","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/green-acropora-8","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
