Bowerbanki corals belong to the genus Acanthastrea bowerbanki. These large polyp stony (LPS) corals are highly desirable for reef aquariums due to their striking colors and fascinating growth patterns. Bowerbanki corals are known for their large, fleshy polyps, which often form in a rounded or irregular encrusting pattern. They can display a range of colors, including red, orange, green, yellow, and blue, often with contrasting or fluorescent centers and outer edges.
Light: Bowerbanki corals prefer moderate lighting. High-intensity light can bleach or damage the polyps, while too little light may hinder their growth and coloration. Position the coral in an area with moderate light in the tank, or adjust placement based on the intensity of your lighting setup.
Flow: These corals do best with moderate, indirect flow. Strong or direct water movement can irritate the fleshy polyps, while insufficient flow may lead to sediment buildup and inhibit health.
Water Parameters: Temp 76°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C), salinity 1.024 to 1.026 specific gravity, pH 8.1 to 8.4, Alk 8 to 10 dKH, Calcium 400 to 450 ppm, Mag 1250 to 1350 ppm
Feeding: Bowerbanki corals are photosynthetic, utilizing light to produce energy through their symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. However, they benefit significantly from supplemental feeding. Offer small meaty foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or coral-specific liquid or powdered foods.
