Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Acropora lokani are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Acropora lokani, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Acropora lokani, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Husbandry

Info from AIMS: Characters: Colonies are composed of robust horizontal main branches which usually diverge. Short upright branchlets diverge from main branches. Axial corallites and incipient axial corallites radiate from branchlets and are tubular in shape and large. Radial corallites are small and pocket shaped.
