Acropora (Purple)

Lighting: Very strong Metal Halides are recommended.
Water Flow: Moderate to High.
Placement: Can be placed anywhere in the tank where it can receive good lighting.
Reef Supplements: Thrives with additions of Calcium, strontium and trace elements.
Ease of Keeping: Difficult. The Acropora is not easy to acclimate but once adjusted to a new environment, it grows fast.
Special Needs: Keep Calcium levels-(400ppm-500ppm) and Alkalinity levels-(2.5meq/l or dKH 7-8). This coral grows faster with stronger lighting and feedings of micro-plankton, phytoplankton. The color may change depending on the lighting and water conditions
