You need to start out with extremely low lighting (I believe it’s 150-200 PAR but I could be wrong). Then you slowly, and I mean slowly ramp up the lighting to normal reef lighting depending on what coral you own. Usually we ramp PAR to being between 300 and 350 (I had to bump my light down because originally it was pushing 600+).
And once you have it acclimated to the PAR on the sand bed you’ll want to slowly acclimate it up the rockwork just how you’d usually do when acclimating other Corals to your lighting.

ok thx for that but I am still confused. If I have a tank with coral already in it and I buy a new coral surely i dont drop the par for the whole tank then reraise it. could i just place the new coral down low and maybe in a shaded area,then reposition him higher over a period of time
cheers

I believe that can work as well, however I’m not an expert when it comes to acros. I just buy something that looks pretty and shiny haha.

The other day when I cleaning my tank, I accidentially broke a small corner of it. I glue the broken piece at other location. 3 weeks later the broken piece double the size.
