Husbandry

Infos from AIMS. For more Info click to the Hyperlink:

Characters: Colonies are irregular tables, sometimes over one metre across, with horizontal branches forming an open network. Upright branchlets are not developed towards the colony margins. Axial corallites are long and tubular and incipient axial corallites are irregular. Radial corallites are immersed on main branches and are triangular in shape, with nariform openings.

Diese Koralle benötigt sehr gute Wasserwerte (NO3+PO4 möglichst gering, KH 6-8, Ca 420-440 und Mg 1290-1350) sehr sauberes Wasser und viel Licht, sowie eine mittlere bis starke -am besten wechselnde-Strömung. Ich halte diese Acropora unter 12*80W T5 im mittleren Beckenbereich.

Kann sich Aufgrund ihrer weit auseinanderliegenden Polypen als Strudelwurmfänger entpuppen.
