Acropora Hyacinthus Coral Care Guide

Stunning tabling Acropora that grows in flat plates. Creates dramatic horizontal shelves in the tank.

This species profile covers everything you need to keep this animal thriving in a home reef aquarium: tank size requirements, water parameters (temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate), diet and feeding schedule, temperament and tank mates, lighting and flow preferences, and common health issues to watch for.

Reefara's species guides are written for hobbyists who want practical, accurate husbandry information drawn from established reef-keeping practice. Each guide includes a difficulty rating, recommended tank size, ideal water parameters, compatible tank mates, and links to equipment that has worked well for this species. We also flag common mistakes (overfeeding, aggressive tank mates, wrong lighting) so you can avoid the issues that lead to losses.

If you are still planning your tank, start with our beginner's path, then use the tank planner to map equipment and stocking. For compatibility checks, see our reef tools.
