first acropora

[ChrisfromBrick]

Hello,

I won a 1” green slimer in an auction but it accidentally got sold so they gave me a nice frag if this. I think it’s called a lemon lime acro. Not sure if the species name.

Anybody know what it needs? This is the first acro i ever owned.

Tank is 9 months old and I can get it up to 300 Par at top rocks. Nutrients are pretty low.

It’s not the most light demanding and grows fast.

If ur keeping what looks to be montipora, shouldn’t be a problem.

thanks- so it is a lemon lime based on the picture?

It looks like a tri colour vilada to me.

Just keep your dkh, calc and mag stable. Give it some decent light. Should be in good shape!

Edit: and some good, high random flow.

thanks everyone. I dipped it in coral rx (which i now read acropora don’t like) and then did a very diluted h202 dip.

I prefer potassium chloride for an acro dip.
