Pengs Heart of the Ocean is probably the rarest acropora I have in my collection. Supply is very limited and it always seems to sell out within hours of making it available. You will receive a small frag similar to what is pictured

We recommend starting the Pengs Heart of the Ocean Acropora in the 200 - 350 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate to High
Moderate to High
Provide Moderate to High variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Acropora. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Mid to Upper level
Placement of your Pengs Heart of the Ocean Acropora is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 200 - 350 PAR range it will need to be mounted Mid to Upper level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Bushy growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
