This coral is well-encrusted and has encrusting growth present on all cuts. This indicates a very healthy and stable coral that has been growing in captivity for some time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora corals thrive under high PAR lighting, ideally between 250-450 PAR. Provide strong, turbulent water flow to keep the coral clean and deliver essential nutrients. Optimal placement for this coral is typically in the upper to middle sections of the rockwork where it can receive ample light and flow. Ensure there is enough space around the coral for future growth, as Acropora can grow quite large and branch extensively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile primarily photosynthetic, Acropora will benefit from supplemental feeding. Offer small particulate foods such as zooplankton or a high-quality coral food a few times a week. Maintain stable water parameters: Alkalinity 8-9 dKH, Calcium 400-450 ppm, Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm, and Salinity 1.025-1.026. Consistent parameters are crucial for the health and vibrant coloration of Acropora. Gradual acclimation using the drip method over several hours is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora corals are generally peaceful but can be aggressive towards other corals if they come into direct contact.
