Hi folks, I'd like to do a few acropora on the back of my rock work so I have nice view when looking down the sides of the tank.

The areas I would be looking to put pieces in are on the lower side of PAR for acros; 150-200. Looking for suggestions for acros that would do well in that par range.

Preferably BC pieces as I am asking in this sub-forum, lol.

Not sure about acros growing on the back wall
I have a bonsai creeping up the back wall but that’s really close to the top
I have personally only known cyphastrea grow in low light back walls

Not an acro but ora birds of paradise is a good fast grower that doesnt need a lot of light . Nice contrast between polyps and green skin

I have a thin branched “jf needle in a haystack” type coral that does great in low light. Fast grower too.

Just ask Adam for a deepwater pack. Bottlebrush acros. He will know what you are looking for
