Acropora Coral Care Guide

Acropora corals are a stunning addition to any reef aquarium, known for their intricate structures and vibrant colors. To ensure these corals thrive in your tank, follow our comprehensive care guide below:

Tank Requirements

  • Lighting: Acroporas require intense lighting, such as LED, T5, or metal halide systems, to mimic their natural habitat. Aim for PAR levels between 200-400.
  • Flow: Provide strong, turbulent water flow to remove debris and promote healthy growth. Use adjustable powerheads for optimal flow.
  • Tank Size: Minimum of 40 gallons, though larger tanks are preferable for stability.

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: Maintain a stable range of 75°F - 78°F (24°C - 26°C).
  • pH: Between 8.1 and 8.4.
  • Salinity: 1.024 - 1.026 specific gravity.
  • Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH.
  • Calcium: 400-450 ppm.
  • Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm.

Feeding

While Acroporas derive much of their energy from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, they also benefit from supplemental feeding. Provide:

  • Fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or marine snow.
  • Target feed occasionally using a turkey baster or coral feeder.

Placement

  • Place Acroporas in the upper portion of your reef tank to ensure adequate lighting and flow.
  • Allow at least 4-6 inches of space between Acroporas and other corals to prevent aggression.

Maintenance Tips

  • Conduct regular water tests and perform weekly water changes (10-20%) to maintain pristine conditions.
  • Monitor for pests like red bugs or flatworms; treat with coral dips as needed.
  • Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water parameters to prevent stress and bleaching.

Compatibility

  • Compatible with most peaceful reef-safe fish and invertebrates.
  • Avoid placing them near aggressive or stinging corals.

By following these guidelines, your Acropora corals will flourish, adding vibrant life and beauty to your aquarium.
