But, like many corals, too much light is not a good thing.  Corals need to acclimate if you want to move the light intensity higher.  So, start a bit lower and slowly work up until the coral seems happy and is doing well.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora are peaceful corals but giving them a couple of inches of space is still a good idea.      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcropora get most of their food from their symbiotic relationship with the zooanthellae in their tissue.  The addition of amino acids seems to aid growth and color.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater flow should be moderate and indirect for Acropora, ideally with an alternating flow pattern.  Too much flow, especially if direct flow, can damage the coral’s tissue and limit its ability to feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Chemistry:  PH 8.0 – 8.4m Nitrates 5 – 10, Phosphates 0.05m – 0.1, Alkalinity 8 - 9 dKh, and Calcium 400 – 450.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanctuary Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719011467557,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/3307\/7797\/files\/20251126_162145-2.jpg?v=1765084962","url":"https:\/\/www.sanctuary-aquatics.com\/products\/ac-wwc-yellow-tip-acro-wysiwyg","provider":"Sanctuary Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
