  Special Requirements and Information:
Large hot pink table coral with cool blue polyps. As with all Acroporas it requires the best of water and lighting conditions and regular feeding of zooplankton for the polyps. Begin away from your light source until they've acclimated and then move them to where they can gather the most light available.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Supplement with strontium, calcium and magnesium.
Can be aggressive towards their neighbors, so give them sufficient room. If properly cared for the arms increase in number and will extend toward the light
