This stunning contrast of vivid hues adds a bold and exotic flair to any reef aquarium.

Care & Feeding
The Hologram Paraancora Coral is photosynthetic, deriving nutrition from its symbiotic zooxanthellae. However, occasional feedings of meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or finely chopped marine options, will boost its growth and accentuate its brilliant colors.
Maintaining stable water chemistry is crucial for its health. Adequate levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity promote skeletal strength, while low nitrate and phosphate levels help preserve its neon and purple brilliance.
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
Position the Hologram Paraancora Coral in the bottom to middle sections of your aquarium, ensuring adequate spacing from other corals to avoid potential stinging due to its semi-aggressive behavior. Under moderate to high lighting, its neon and purple hues will shine most brilliantly.
