🍽️ Care & Feeding
-
Best kept under stable water parameters with moderate to high lighting.
-
Moderate, indirect flow prevents tissue stress and allows for proper polyp expansion.
-
Regular supplementation with trace elements and calcium/magnesium, along with occasional feedings of fine coral foods, will enhance growth and maintain its radiant colouration.
-
Provide ample spacing to avoid aggression from neighbouring corals.
📈 Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
