One of the easier sps to keep imo. High light high flow and clean water will make this birdsnest go nuts. Keep calcium kh and mag in range.

It's actually a Seriatopora - not an Acropora, but that's semantics...

That would explain why I didn't find much information haha. Thanks.

A nice big kiss a hug and OHHH you mean for the coral. Its one of the easier ones to keep, be sure you have high light, great flow. Be sure to check your CALC, MAG and ALK to make sure there within acceptable parameters.

CALC over 400
MAG over 1350-1400
ALK I like to keep mine at 8.5

Hope this helps, others will chime in.

Sps typically need at least 30x flow, right?
