Anacropora tips?

[whitelightning77]

Won a green goblin anacropora on an online auction. Anyone have any tips on these. Online searches are saying it prefers med-high light and med-high flow. Basically similar to most other sps corals. Anyone personally have these corals. Any pics on larger colonies?

I have had JF Green Goblin for years. LOVES high light and above average flow.
Grows like a weed in proper conditions.
This is about 6 months growth from a 1" frag

Thanks for your input. It helps. I have a hybrid lighting set up consisting of 3 120ish led modules and 2 x 250 MH radiums. Do you think the radiums will be too powerful for the anacropora? I'm having a hard time finding coral I can place under that bulb. Most frags now come from led systems and my MHs seem to cook them. However this frag is coming from a t5 setup so I'm hoping it will be ok.

I think I'd start middle and work your way up. I ran my Radions at 85% intensity and the stuff grew like wildfire

I agree with @ndrwater

I have the Slimeball Anacropora and it is high in my tank (~300-400 par) and gets a decent amount of flow. All LED in my display and T5 in the frag tank. Grows equally well in both.

Mine isn’t as fast growing as ndr’s or as dense, but it is definitely a fast grower.

This is the tank just for reference.
