Special Requirements and Information:
This unusual
beauty is also called a "Moon Coral" or
"Pebble Coral". The polyps are
random, attached, equal in height and rounded. When you
look closely at the polyps, they have a
multi-faceted star appearance. The colonies
normally form a ball-like appearance, while
occasionally in a plate formation.
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.
