Lighting: Blue Cali Tort Acro corals typically require high-intensity lighting to maintain their coloration and promote healthy growth. LED lighting, metal halides, or T5 fluorescent lights are commonly used in reef aquariums to provide the necessary light intensity. Place them in the upper to middle section of the tank where they can receive strong, direct lighting.
