Anacropora Coral (Anacropora spp.)
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to High
Water Flow: Medium to Strong
Care Level: Moderate
Placement: Upper Levels
Temperament: Peaceful
Anacropora Corals are a unique and striking species known for their delicate, branching structures and vibrant colors. Their branches are often finer and more delicate than other SPS corals, resembling a tree-like formation with polyps that give them a soft, bushy appearance. Anacropora corals come in shades of green, yellow, blue, and purple, adding stunning contrast to a reef tank.
Anacropora thrives under moderate to high lighting and requires medium to strong water flow to keep the polyps extended and healthy. While they primarily rely on photosynthesis via zooxanthellae, occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods can help promote better growth and coloration.
Though peaceful, Anacropora should be placed with care, as it can be sensitive to water quality changes and nutrient levels. Providing proper space and stable conditions will ensure this coral flourishes and adds beauty to your reef tank.
