This is the precise specimen you see in the provided image, featuring the exact neon coloration displayed.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: High to very high; Neon Anacropora require strong, high-quality lighting to maintain their legendary neon coloration and support photosynthetic zooxanthellae; target PAR 300-400 in the coral’s placement area; LED reef lighting with strong blue spectrum or metal halide systems work excellently for color expression; adequate lighting is absolutely essential for vibrant neon glow and healthy growth.
• Water Flow: Strong, consistent flow; SPS corals thrive with vigorous water movement that prevents detritus accumulation on delicate polyps and supports nutrient delivery; provide strong but not turbulent flow; position coral where flow is direct but allows natural polyp extension; consistent, uni-directional flow enhances color expression and health.
• Feeding & Nutrition: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefit significantly from supplemental feeding; feed with fine particle foods, zooplankton, or specialized SPS foods 2-3 times weekly; supplemental nutrition enhances growth rate, polyp extension, and color intensity; maintain healthy nutrient levels and adequate bioload supporting zooxanthellae and vibrant coloration.
• Placement: Position in high-light, strong-flow areas where the coral receives excellent illumination and water movement; ideal placement showcases the electric neon coloration and intricate branching structure; allow adequate space for growth and development without shading from neighboring corals; positioning where direct light hits the coral maximizes the neon glow; consider placement as a premium focal point.
• Calcium & Alkalinity: Maintain elevated, consistent levels supporting robust skeleton growth and development; target calcium 420-450 ppm and alkalinity 9-12 dKH; stable, elevated parameters are essential for SPS growth, vibrant neon coloration, and healthy development; regular supplementation or calcium reactor systems support optimal conditions.
• Magnesium: Maintain adequate magnesium levels (1,200-1,400 ppm); magnesium supports calcium uptake and skeletal development; deficiency may result in slowed growth or diminished coloration.
• Water Conditions: Require very stable, pristine parameters in well-established reef systems; thrive in excellent water quality with low nutrient levels (nitrogen and phosphorus); benefit from consistent temperature (76-78°F), stable salinity (1.025-1.026), and regular water changes; very sensitive to parameter fluctuations which cause stress, color fade, or tissue recession.
• Acclimation: Allow gradual, patient acclimation to new lighting environments over 2-3 weeks if coming from different lighting conditions; slowly increase light intensity to prevent bleaching; very careful acclimation is essential for this sensitive species; patient approach ensures successful color establishment and prevents stress-related recession.
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful but possesses allelopathic chemical defenses; maintain adequate spacing (6 inches minimum) from other corals to prevent chemical competition or irritation; excellent reef community member with proper placement and spacing.
• Maintenance: Regular, consistent monitoring of parameters, feeding, and stable conditions are absolutely essential; remove any debris accumulating on polyps; closely monitor for signs of stress including tissue recession, polyp closure, or color fade; maintain excellent water quality through diligent, consistent maintenance.
• Care Level: Moderate to advanced—Neon Anacropora are sensitive SPS corals requiring meticulous attention to detail, impeccable stable parameters, optimal lighting, strong flow, and consistent, dedicated care; ideal for intermediate to advanced aquarists with well-established reef systems and substantial experience managing sensitive, high-value corals; reward excellent care with unmatched neon coloration and impressive growth.

Growth & Development Expectations:

Neon Anacropora grow at moderate rates when provided excellent conditions. With strong lighting (PAR 300-400 ), excellent flow, impeccable chemistry, and consistent, dedicated care, you can expect:

• Gradual, steady growth over 2-3 months as the coral acclimates and establishes
• Neon coloration intensification and brilliance improving as the coral thrives
• Branching development creating increasingly impressive structure and presence
• Colony maturation reaching impressive size over 6-12 months with exceptional conditions
• Sustained neon glow continuing to captivate and inspire with proper ongoing care

Important Notes:

Neon Anacropora are sensitive, moderately-advanced to advanced SPS corals requiring exceptional conditions and dedicated care. They are particularly sensitive to parameter fluctuations, insufficient lighting, inadequate flow, and unstable chemistry. Verify your system has proven exceptionally stable parameters, premium PAR lighting (300-400 ), strong consistent flow, and a track record of successfully maintaining sensitive SPS corals before purchasing. Acclimate very slowly and patiently to your lighting environment to prevent bleaching or stress. This is a high-value specimen requiring premium care and attention. SPS corals are sensitive to copper and certain medications—avoid copper-based treatments.
