  Special Requirements and Information:
There's just something inherently masculine about the samoensis. The polyps are offset between each group and rounded. When you're very lucky you can a color combo like this. At the bottom left of this photo you can see opened polyps. Growth is both lengthening of the branches and new growth on the outer areas. 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.
They can be aggressive towards their neighbors and should be given plenty of room.
