🔹 Care & Feeding
Anacropora is generally considered one of the more forgiving SPS coral groups, making it an excellent choice for reef keepers looking to expand their branching coral collection.
It thrives in stable reef aquariums with moderate to high lighting and consistent, variable water movement.
Provide moderate to strong, indirect flow to maintain good circulation between the branches and prevent detritus accumulation.
Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels to support healthy skeletal growth.
Gradually acclimate new frags to stronger lighting to preserve their vibrant orange-red pigmentation and avoid light stress.
Although primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding with fine particulate coral foods and suitable plankton-based nutrition may support healthy tissue development and growth.
Balanced nitrate and phosphate concentrations are important for maintaining vibrant coloration and overall coral vitality.
🔹 Recommended Parameters
Temperature: 24–26 °C
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
Alkalinity: 7.5–8.5 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate: 2–15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm
🔹 Placement & Compatibility
Ideally positioned in the middle to upper sections of the reef aquarium, where it receives moderate to high lighting and consistent, multidirectional water movement.
Allow sufficient space for future branching growth, as healthy Anacropora colonies can develop extensive, bushy structures over time.
Avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals and ensure adequate circulation around the entire specimen.
Under stable aquarium conditions, this TNT Anacropora can develop impressive branching growth and beautiful warm pigmentation, creating a striking display of colour and structure.
