This bold color combination brings energy and vitality to your tank, while its flowing tentacles create dynamic motion that captures the eye.

Hailing from the Indo-Pacific region, the Toxic Emerald thrives under moderate water flow and lighting, replicating the calm yet nutrient-rich environments it is accustomed to.
Care & Feeding
The Toxic Emerald Paradivisa Coral is photosynthetic, relying on its symbiotic zooxanthellae to produce most of its nutrients. However, feeding it small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or brine shrimp will encourage optimal growth and vibrant color development.
Maintaining stable water chemistry is vital for this coral's health. Balanced levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity are essential for skeletal development, while controlling nitrate and phosphate levels will help preserve its striking green hues without interference from algae.
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
Place the Toxic Emerald Paradivisa Coral in the bottom to middle regions of your aquarium, ensuring enough space around it for its tentacles to spread without stinging other corals. Due to its semi-aggressive nature, it’s important to maintain distance from other corals to avoid competition for space.
