Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Acanthastrea brevis are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Acanthastrea brevis, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Acanthastrea brevis, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Mein Brevis stammt aus Tonga und sieht so ziemlich genau wie die abgebildete aus. Die einzelnen Polypen sind etwa 1 - 1,5 cm gross und nicht sehr fleischig. Nachts fahren meine Brevis Mesenterialfilamente (bis 5 cm) aus und hat schon eine offensichtlich zu nahe stehende Koralle zerstört. Die Mesenterialfilamente kriechen auf den Boden (Fels, Algen) umher. Sie werden, sobald Licht auf sie fällt sofort wieder eingezogen. Die Polypen sind relativ einfach zu Füttern und schleimen zu kleines Futter nicht ein. Keine starke Strömung und kein starkes Licht. Vermehrt sich extratentakulär.
