Our favorite corals are always going to be cultured. Not because the are always the best (although we DO think that they are) but because they don't take from the natural system. It's in our name!
 
A quick growing coral when the water conditions are right. Acropora should be placed high in the tank. Close to the light source, but not so close to be affected by the heat. Feeding should be light during the day with the full feeding at night. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms. Polyps extend during feeding and give the yongei a fuzzy appearance.
