Aussie Golden Tint Acantho

About this coral

Aussie Golden Tint Acantho is a named trade coral in the fleshy Acantho group of large-polyp stony corals. The shop name identifies a coral type, but does not establish a precise species or the specific traits of this named variety. Acantho corals are kept as reef display animals for their fleshy polyps and can also benefit from occasional targeted feeding. The care notes below are general guidance for this coral group, not a verified care sheet for the named variety. Provide stable reef conditions and allow the coral to settle before making changes to its position or lighting.

Features:

• A fleshy, large-polyp stony coral suited to a reef aquarium with stable conditions.
• Use gentle to moderate water movement so the tissue is not subjected to forceful, direct flow.
• Begin in lower to moderate light and acclimate gradually when changing its lighting exposure.
• May accept small meaty marine foods; feeding is supplementary and should not leave uneaten food on the coral.
• Leave room around the colony, since neighboring corals may compete for space and contact can damage tissue.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Acantho; group-level identification only, with no precise species verified.
• Care level: General guidance: moderate; stability and gradual acclimation are important.
• Light: Low to moderate as a starting range; adjust gradually based on the coral's response.
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow.
• Placement: A stable position in the lower to middle aquarium is a practical starting point.
• Diet: Photosynthetic coral; may also accept small meaty marine foods.
• Water parameters: Maintain stable reef-aquarium conditions. No variety-specific numerical temperature, pH, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium values are verified.
