Care of Stag Acro

[mids1999]

Can someone please post some info on proper conditions/care of this acropora, well as some more specific ID information?

I was told it is a staghorn acropora.

If that's a staghorn than my mushroom is a rbta..lol..it looks like a pocillopora..but I could be wrong...

Oh btw med/high light will work for u...even lower light.. not too picky..

Fast grower, relatively easy, may do fine in low light but color is better in higher light. Tend to spread.

How long are the sweeper tentacles on this coral?
Where should it be placed in relation to my montiporas to avoid problems?

"Stagorn acropora" haha. Whoever told you that must think up is down.

mid/low light should be fine. Medium/low flow.

So my tanks setup --72x3W LED, and 60x turnover flow in 75G -- would not be a good place for this coral?

Treat this like almost an other Acropora.and give it enough space because it does take off.high light does make color better and it can be in a med flow spot.

keep your cal, alk, mag stable. I let my alk swing too low and lost a bunch of my acros due to stn.
