Known for its intricate branching structure and vibrant coloration, this high-end acro is a must-have for serious reef enthusiasts looking to add a true showpiece to their tank. With proper care, its colors will intensify, creating a mesmerizing display under the right lighting conditions.

Care Instructions:

• Lighting: High (PAR 250-400) – Strong LED, T5, or metal halide lighting recommended
• Flow: Strong and random – Requires high, alternating flow to prevent detritus buildup
• Placement: Upper third of the tank for best light exposure and water movement
• Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 76-80°F
  • Salinity: 1.025-1.026 SG
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Alkalinity: 8-9.5 dKH (stable levels are crucial)
  • Calcium: 400-450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1300-1400 ppm
  • Nitrate: 2-10 ppm
  • Phosphate: 0.02-0.08 ppm

Feeding & Growth:

Rainbow Acropora relies primarily on photosynthesis but benefits from supplemental feeding with amino acids, broadcast plankton, or coral foods to promote better coloration and faster growth. Maintaining stable parameters is key, as Acropora are sensitive to fluctuations.

Compatibility & Special Considerations:

• Aggressive grower – Can encrust and overtake nearby corals if placed too close
• Requires pristine water quality and stability – Sudden parameter swings can cause RTN (Rapid Tissue Necrosis)
• Best suited for experienced reef keepers due to its high demands
