Overview
The Euphyllia "Citrus Glow" Paradivisa Coral is a vibrant addition to any reef aquarium. Its bright green tentacles paired with vivid orange tips resemble the zesty hues of citrus fruits, creating an energizing and dynamic display. This branching coral offers both stunning coloration and graceful movement, making it a standout feature in your aquatic environment.
Native to the sheltered lagoons and reef slopes of the Indo-Pacific, the Citrus Glow thrives under moderate water flow and lighting, mimicking its natural habitat.
Care & Feeding
The Citrus Glow Paradivisa Coral is photosynthetic, relying on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for sustenance. For enhanced growth and coloration, occasional feedings of fine meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or brine shrimp, are highly beneficial.
To maintain its health and vibrant colors, ensure stable water chemistry. Balanced levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity are essential for its branching skeletal structure, while low nitrate and phosphate levels help prevent algae growth.
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 Citrus Glow Paradivisa Coral in the bottom to middle regions of your aquarium. Allow enough space for its branching growth and to prevent stinging interactions with neighboring corals due to its semi-aggressive nature.
Brighten your reef with the Euphyllia "Citrus Glow" Paradivisa Coral, a striking combination of green and orange that adds a burst of energy and elegance to any underwater sanctuary.
