Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Acropora abrotanoides are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Acropora abrotanoides, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Acropora abrotanoides, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Husbandry

Infos from AIMS:
Characters: Colonies are clumps of prostrate branches with fused central branches and upwardly projecting peripheral branches. Branches may be conical to elongate, with or without pointed ends. Branches may have one to several axial corallites. Radial corallites are elongate.

Similar Species: Acropora robusta, which has similar corallites, but is readily distinguished by the presence of thick encrusting bases. See also A. irregularis and A. nobilis

Hallo.
Also meiner Meinung nach eine sehr schwer zu haltende acropora.
Bei mir gedeiht alles von echinata bis zu sarmentosa, aber die gezeigte koralle ist sehr empfindlich und geht sehr schnell ein auch bei perfekten Wasserwerte.

Meine Werte sind

ca 440
ma 1320
kh 8
po4 0,0018
no3 0.1
sio2 0.0

Salz TM pro reef und triton Methode,
seit rund 8 Monaten alles komplett bei grün(icp Analyse).

Doch ich kann sie keine 4 Wochen halten.

egal ob im riff ganz oben oder ganz unten.
