Overview
The Stormburst Rodhactis is a striking and uncommon coral, showcasing a dramatic contrast of deep grey tones with vibrant yellow bubble-like formations and elevated textures. This unique combination creates a stormy yet electrifying effect, making it a standout addition to any reef tank. Its dynamic surface gives it a tactile depth that shifts beautifully under changing light conditions, offering an ever-evolving display of colour and texture.
Care & Feeding
This Rodhactis thrives in moderate to high lighting and prefers a moderate water flow to allow its distinctive structure to fully expand. While primarily photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional target feeding with zooplankton or mysis shrimp, which helps to sustain its rich coloration and promote healthy growth.
Maintaining stable water parameters, especially alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium, is essential for preserving the Stormburst Rodhactis’ vibrant contrast and unique structure.
