Care & Feeding
The Mint Mirage Paradivisa Coral is photosynthetic and uses its symbiotic zooxanthellae for the majority of its nutrition. However, for optimal growth and vibrant coloration, feeding it fine meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp will enhance its health and hue.
Maintaining stable water chemistry is crucial for preserving its stunning mint green tips. Proper calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels promote healthy skeletal development, while managing nitrate and phosphate levels will help keep algae at bay and maintain the coral’s brilliant coloration.
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 Mint Mirage Paradivisa Coral in the bottom to middle sections of your aquarium, ensuring enough space for its tentacles to spread freely. Its semi-aggressive nature means it should be positioned away from other corals to prevent stinging interactions.
