Placement/care for a ORA Gecko Green Acro?

[ojonas81]

Picked up a very nice ORA Gecko Green Acro today at my LFS. Fom what I read on ORA's homepage it can be placed in a lower lit area of the tank further down. Does anyone know how low light we are talking about? I have a great spot for it in the lower 1/3 of my tank but not sure if it will get enough light.

I would imagine that the lower 1/3 under good LEDs would be equivalent to what ORA had in mind.

There aren't all that many posts on the Internet for this particular coral, unfortunately.

I have one that I have placed everywhere from the sand to 3/4 up and it still looks pale/bleached? Have had it for about two years now. Slow grower for me. Good luck with this coral.

Thanks.

Wonder why there are not more posts about this one. Especially since ORA themselves says it is a great beginner SPS. Looks very cool as well.

Is it a new ORA release or a discontinued one?

I have one at the top of my tank directly in the return pump current. It's one of my fastest growers! This frag was a crumb I saved from the bottom of my LFS's tank and has grown to this size in eight months. And to be exact, I cannot say with 100% certainty that this is ORA but its extremely similar if its not.

ATI t5's are about 12" from the coral.
