About Green Mili Acropora

Acropora in Captivity

Acropora tend to do well in captivity as long as they have pristine water conditions.  This is the reason we list these corals as "expert" coral, only.  Bad water quality can have a very negative inpact upon these coral.

Reef Keeping Information

Acropora come in a multitude of colors.  They can actually change color as they acclimate to a new tank.  This change is due to water conditions and lighting, so what you see pictured in our tank may not look exactally the same as it would in your tank.   Acros can take up to 5 - 6 months to regain their normal growth rate after placing in a new tank.  Acros are sensitive and can be stressed easily by moving them around in your tank, so we suggest that you find a secure place for your Acro and place it in that area, not to be moved.  

Lighting

Acroporas require strong / intense lighting

Handling / Fragging

Acropora should be handled as little as possible.  It is recommended that you place the coral in a secure place in your tank and not to move it except for fragging as they can "stress" very easily.  If at all possible, it is recommended that you frag the piece while it is actually in the tank.  As with any coral, gloves and protective eyewear should be used when fragging or handling coral.  Even though the coral may not be toxic, some people have sensitivity to marine life.

Category

Acroporas fall into the SPS category.  Small Polyp Stony Coral as the most delicate of coral and require expert care.  It is recommended that SPS not be mixed with other coral, or if they are, it is recommended that you allow at least 10" of spacing between your Acro and other coral.  Acropora can release digestive strands called "Acotina" which can actually kill neighboring coral and invertebrates. 

Care Level

Expert with a well established tank.  Acros are very sensitive to changes in water parameters and will thrive in pristine water conditions.

Temperament

Acropora are considered to be aggressive coral for reasons explained above.

Feeding

Althought it is not required, it is recommended that you feed your Acros once a week with Zooplankton to maintain proper health and growth.
