General info about Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord
This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord in captivity:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 76° - 83° F (24° - 28° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton or dissolved organics.
Fragging / Propagating Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord
Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord to spread their polyps thereby allowing them to feed. Too much light will cause the polyps to be retracted.
