WYSIWYG Australian Acanthastrea Coral Frag

This is for a single Australian Acan Coral frag (Acanthastrea lordhowensis also known as Micromussa). This is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) coral meaning you will receive the exact coral in the photo.

Size: ~1-2 inches

Lighting: low to moderate light

Water flow: moderate to higher water flow

Acanthastrea are an easy to keep stony coral. We recommend placing them lower in the aquarium on the sand or rock. You can feed them meaty food such as mysis shrimp or other coral foods one to a few times a week but this is not a must. They are a lot of fun to feed. These are sure to be eye-catching in any aquarium. 

It is important to give corals their own space in the aquarium. We recommend giving them at least 2-3+ inches of their own space so they do not sting or irritate other corals. This will also give them room to grow in the aquarium.

This coral variety is peaceful and considered safe with our larger species (not Dwarf seahorses) of seahorses. 

Like our captive bred seahorses, we recommend using RODI water when mixing your saltwater. Corals can be sensitive to improper water quality. We recommend the same water parameters we do for our captive bred seahorses and fish.

Please note: Coral color and appearance varies. Differences in light, glass, water parameters, and many other factors can influence how a coral appears so it may appear different in your aquarium. Many coral species will "close up" during shipping and can take a day or up to a week or more to open. This is normal and expected when you receive them.
