Acropora Coral

About Acropora Coral

Acropora is the branching stony coral that builds most of the world’s reefs, and it is the benchmark many reef keepers measure their tanks against. Colonies grow as branches, tables or bushes, and under strong light with clean, stable water they colour up intensely and grow quickly. Because it reacts fast to swings in alkalinity or temperature, it suits established systems with steady dosing.

Acropora Coral care at a glance

• Lighting: High – 250 to 400 PAR from quality LEDs or T5s
• Water flow: Strong and turbulent, changing direction through the day
• Placement: Upper rockwork, with room for the colony to grow outward
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; benefits from amino acids and fine coral foods
• Care level: Advanced – needs stable alkalinity, calcium and low nutrients

For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
