Scientific
Name: Acropora (ID Unknown) Classification: SPS Description: Natural Environment: Water Current: Does well with medium to high water current levels. Temperature: Does well within a range of at least 75º to 84º F Aggressiveness: Low. All corals can sting adjacent corals, but it does not have elongated stinging tentacles, so they can live in fairly close proximity to other non-aggressive corals. Feeding: Photosynthetic and requires no direct feeding. That is why it is important to provide the proper lighting. It will presumably take small zooplankton type foods if provided. Supplements: Correct Calcium (400 – 500) and Alkalinity (3.2 – 4.5ml/eq.) levels are important for health, growth and optimum coloration. Low alkalinity levels can cause lose of gray-blue tips as can insufficient lighting. Tank Positioning: Best if kept in the middle to upper portion of the tank where it can get maximum light and good water flow. If your tank has very high intensity lighting, it is best to place any new coral on the bottom of the tank for a week or two to acclimatize it to your tank lighting conditions before moving it to it’s final location.
