Previously classified as *Acanthastrea bowerbanki*, this species is now recognized within the *Homophyllia* genus. It presents a robust, cushion-like appearance, with polyps that can reach up to 2 inches in diameter. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it inhabits deeper reef slopes and protected lagoon areas, thriving in moderate conditions. Its unique texture and bold colors make it a standout centerpiece in a well-maintained reef aquarium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These corals are considered intermediate in difficulty. While they can tolerate minor fluctuations, stable water parameters are crucial for their health. They possess a moderate aggression level, capable of extending sweeper tentacles, so adequate spacing from other corals is essential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bowerbanki corals thrive in a minimum tank size of [data unavailable] litres. Maintain stable water parameters: a pH range of 8.1\u20138.4, a temperature of 23\u201327\u00b0C (74\u201380\u00b0F), and salinity between 1.024\u20131.026. Moderate to low indirect lighting (50\u2013150 PAR) and gentle to moderate water flow are ideal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As photosynthetic corals, Bowerbankis derive energy from light. However, they benefit greatly from supplemental feeding with meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialized coral pellets 2-3 times per week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We provide healthy, vibrant Bowerbanki corals, meticulously selected for quality.
