Overview
The Bubble Fairy Rhodactis is a soft mushroom coral with a magical presence — a forest-green disc embellished with scattered yellow bubbles, each one shimmering like trapped light. It thrives in stable tanks and spreads gradually, forming vibrant carpets of living texture.
Non-aggressive and ideal for mixed reefs, this Rhodactis is perfect for beginners and collectors alike. It adds organic movement and a splash of fantasy colour to low-light corners.
Care & Feeding
Very hardy and photosynthetic, but appreciates occasional feedings with powdered coral foods, rotifers, or reef roids. Regular iodine dosing helps maintain vibrant colour and vesicle inflation.
Place in shaded areas of the tank or beneath overhangs to protect from excessive light intensity. Avoid placement near aggressive stingers.

Placement
Attach on rubble rock or stable surface in the lower third of the aquarium. Given time, it will spread laterally. Secure it gently at first, avoiding direct flow or excessive handling.
