Care & Feeding
The Cherry Blossom Paradivisa Coral is photosynthetic and relies primarily on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for nourishment. However, to enhance its growth and color intensity, occasional feedings of small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp are recommended.
Maintaining stable water conditions is key for preserving its vibrant colors. Proper levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity are essential for healthy skeletal development, while controlling nitrate and phosphate levels will prevent algae growth and help maintain the coral's striking pink tips.
Optimal Parameters
- Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
- Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
- Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
- Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
- Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Position the Cherry Blossom Paradivisa Coral in the bottom to middle sections of your aquarium, ensuring ample space for its tentacles to extend and flow without interference. Its semi-aggressive nature requires that it be kept away from other corals to avoid potential stinging.
