Can i get acropora?

[Fishman007]

I want some acropora to go in my 37g, mainly a purple or blue type. Im running 4 T5ho coralife lights. Will thisnbe enough to get acropora?

Many thanks.

They may live but will probably not keep color or grow. I think 6-8 bulbs would be required for acros depending on the species.

What sps corals do you already have?

Some montipora, its getting taken over by ricordea mushrooms though.

Maybe try some birdsnest or monti digitata before attempting acropora.

I agree. They will most likely turn brown.
