Electric Lemonade Anacropora forbesi

High lighting would serve this species well. Anacropora can be kept under high output fluorescent bulbs (T5), but may benefit from more intense lighting such as metal halide (MH) or light emitting diode (LED). Anacropora may require a longer acclimation period to intense lighting such as metal halides. Anacropora can change color like other similar SPS, but not nearly to the extent that corals such as Acropora or Montipora do.

Strong water movement is recommended. 

Like most coral, Anacropora rely to a large extent on the products of their zooxanthellae, however, in our experience, they also benefit from direct feeding. There are a variety of frozen fish foods available that make outstanding meals for Anacropora. We like to feed a mixture of meaty rotifer-based foods with vitamin additives and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). The size of the food must be small enough that the polyp can fully ingest it. We like to use the cloudy supernate that forms after thawing out frozen food and using a turkey baster to spray it on the Anacropora colonies.
