Description
Acanthastrea lordhowensis – Acanthastrea lordhowensis LPS coral, now commonly classified as Micromussa lordhowensis.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 528. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Light and flow
Light: low to moderate, with gradual acclimation. Flow: gentle to moderate and indirect.
Placement in your reef
Secure low in the reef with separation from other corals and space for new polyps.
Feeding and ongoing care
Occasionally offer small meaty particles when feeding polyps are open.
Keep soft tissue off sharp rock edges. Avoid direct contact with stinging neighbours.
Keep water conditions stable
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
For a consistent testing routine, see our reef water testing guide.
