Care & Feeding
The Pectinia "Radiant Inferno" Coral is a photosynthetic marvel, relying on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for nourishment. To amplify its coloration and promote growth, feed small portions of planktonic or meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or rotifers, a couple of times per week.
Maintaining stable water conditions is crucial to sustaining its intense coloration. Ensure consistent levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity for strong skeletal development, while low nitrate and phosphate levels will help keep algae at bay and preserve the coral's vibrant hues.
