GB Fury Acropora Coral

GB Fury Acropora Coral (Acropora tenuis) thrives under bright, stable conditions with strong, random flow. Target 250–350 PAR using quality LEDs or T5/LED hybrids, and ramp intensity over 1–2 weeks to prevent bleaching. Provide vigorous, turbulent movement (gyres or alternating powerheads) so polyps sway without a harsh, constant blast; this keeps detritus off the branches and promotes gas exchange. Maintain temperature 75–78°F (24–26°C), salinity 1.025–1.026, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8–9 dKH (stable), calcium 420–460 ppm, magnesium 1300–1400 ppm, nitrate 2–10 ppm, and phosphate 0.03–0.08 ppm. Feed sparingly 1–3x weekly with fine particulate foods and occasional amino acids; overfeeding can raise nutrients too quickly. Test weekly (more often after changes), use an ATO for salinity, and consider two-part or kalkwasser to hold Ca/Alk as growth accelerates.Place frags high to upper-mid on sturdy rock with space for branching and to avoid shading neighbors. Keep 3–6 inches from other SPS and farther from aggressive LPS or soft corals; run carbon and good skimming if mixing species. Dip and inspect on arrival (check for AEFW, red bugs), then light-acclimate by starting lower or reducing output 30–50%. Common issues: bleaching from sudden light/parameter shifts, tissue recession from pests or alk swings, and browning from low light or imbalanced nutrients. Improve flow, verify PAR, correct parameters slowly, and frag ahead of dead tissue if recession starts.
