Description
Acanthastrea lordhowensis WYSIWYG / 1488-R
This listing offers an Acanthastrea lordhowensis LPS coral, now commonly classified as Micromussa lordhowensis. Choose this individual coral by its original photographs and the specimen details below. Its species-specific lighting, water movement and spacing matter as much as the trade name.
Specimen reference: 1488-R. This reference identifies the photographed listing; it is not a size measurement.
Origin stated in the listing: Aquarium-grown aquaculture
The product photographs show the specimen under blue aquarium lighting. Colour appearance can vary with your own lighting and viewing angle.
You receive the exact coral shown in the original product photographs.
Acanthastrea lordhowensis is also classified as Micromussa lordhowensis. We retain the name used for this photographed listing.
Lighting and water movement
Lighting: low to moderate, with gradual acclimation. Flow: gentle to moderate and indirect.
Placement and spacing
secure low in the reef with separation from other corals and space for new polyps.
Feeding and water chemistry
occasionally offer small meaty particles when feeding polyps are open.
24–26 °C, 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 °dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l, magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. These are guideline ranges for a stable reef, not targets to reach through abrupt adjustments. Keep alkalinity and salinity steady and avoid letting nutrients remain undetectable.
Acclimation and observation
Keep soft tissue off sharp rock edges. Avoid direct contact with stinging neighbours.
Prepare for arrival with our coral acclimation guide.
