Care & Feeding
The Zombie Purple Polyp Acropora thrives in high lighting and requires strong water flow for optimal health. While it is primarily photosynthetic, it will benefit from occasional supplemental feedings of small planktonic foods, such as copepods or phytoplankton, to enhance its growth and vibrant polyps.
Maintaining stable water parameters—especially calcium, magnesium, and trace elements—is essential for its health and to preserve the vibrant purple color of its polyps.
