I recently purchased an A. Crateriformis and have been struggling to get a great PE ever since i've had it in my tank. After doing several searches online I cant find any info on it anywhere. Does anyone have any experience with this coral and if so could you post pics as well as parameters and tank placement? Thanks

Woww really? Deff post a pick
Ill try to get one later today and yes it is very different. Its looks almost like a montipora. Its mainly encrusting with the occasional branch and likes lower lighting with moderate flow from what i was told. It's a purplish/deep red base with bright green polyps.

Dana, 1846 Corals of genus Acropora corals are reef-building, living in the world's oceans invertebrates, sessile e and colony-forming cnidarians which form a limestone skeleton. They live on their zooxanthellae mainly of light, but are also capable, with their polyps Plankton to catch. They deprive the seawater calcium and, to a lesser extent, other elements and so produce several grams of lime per day, whereby they were also to a large extent the currently known coral reefs. The species of the genus Acropora are often very colorful and their long-term For many years successful attitude is considered high art. Since the late 1980s, they are kept in aquariums and even grown many times during the 1990s. The attitude and asexual e propagating through branch quickly became popular, which is why today in addition to commercial breeders private aquarists offer coral offshoots. The breed in hard corals is very easy, as they only need to be fragmented, ultimately. Man breaking a piece of the parent coral from and the branch thus obtained is growing (usually on a piece of live rock stuck), similar to the plants, under good conditions at its own coral zoom. Steinkorallen a distinction in hobby circles based on the size of their polyps roughly in Small Polyp Scleractinia ns (small polyp or SPS corals) and in Large Polyp Scleractinians (large polyped or LPS -Steinkorallen). Not all SPS corals are the same in their attitude needs, even here there are species that are less sensitive than others. General: taxonomists go today of 18 hard coral families with a total of more than 100 genera from. The two genera Montipora (more than 70 species - Veron 2000) and Acropora (over 180 species - Veron 2000) here are some of the species and the most numerous. The maintenance of SPS corals was and is due to the requirements of the corals on water quality and lighting usually far more complex than that of most LPS corals and zooxanthellat en soft corals. Therefore, only came with the possibilities of skimming and the use of live rock on the way to a better to produce water quality, and with a better permanent attitude and increase in lighting and better Calziumversorgung. Since the attitude of SPS corals for many to reach target was, standing zooxanthellate soft corals hardly the main focus of most aquarists. The identification of small-polyp and großpolypigen stony corals is not always easy, in spite of really good works, like the Book of Veron, Corals of the World, or the AIMS pages - especially since a unique identification would actually be undertaken in accordance with the Kalkskelettes.One must not forget also that many animals in Aquarium no longer look like change, as in nature, and by flow, light, and other influences their appearance.Among the important parameters: light: All SPS corals of the genus Acropora need a very high light intensity. They should therefore at an average illumination be settled rather above the basin. Heat / cold:. Corals of the genus Acropora tolerate long to water temperatures below 20 nor more than 30degrees, both cases they are acknowledged with fading. flow: They tolerate a perfectly good flow, not the pump outlet directly to a should be directed coral.Best changing, more turbulent flow conditions are suitable. Water parameters: trace elements (calcium 420-440 mg / L, magnesium 1100-1300 mg / L, under KH 8, strontium 8 mg / L). Water change: at least 5% a week or 10% per month.. Water quality: as long as possible stable and clear water, optionally a carbon filtration or ozonation advises on the Elimination of yellow substances in.

Nitrate NO3:. less than 5 mg / L phosphate PO4: less than 0.1 mg / L, better even in the range of 0.01 mg / L.
