💡 Growth & Colour
As a mini colony, this piece offers multiple active growth points from day one. Under stable conditions, expect:
-
constant, fluffy polyp extension
-
deepening pink tones as it matures
-
steady branching with solid base encrustation
Avoid ultra-low nutrients—low but measurable nitrates help maintain colour richness and polyp fullness. Stable alkalinity keeps growth clean and stress-free.

-
fine powdered coral foods or micro-plankton
-
amino acid blends 1–2× weekly
Supplemental feeding enhances polyp size, tissue thickness, and long-term colour stability.

-
Alkalinity: 7.5–8.5 dKH
-
Calcium: 420–450 ppm
