    I am doing a little light reading on the web.....and came across a picture of Acropora Hoeksemai.I can't seem to find out much more about this coral...Can anyone help me know more? Is it a soft coral or hard? Does it like heavy flow or light? Does it like lots of light or little? Does it like a lot of calcium or little? It is really pretty but I would like to know more. Please let me know Thanks :sunny:

    i believe since its acropora it likes heavy flow and light.your calcium should stay around 400 ppm(natural sea water), all though i do know people who have raised it to 600 and claim good results.
