Overview
The Sarcophyton Green Fluor is a classic soft coral prized for its graceful appearance and vivid green fluorescent polyps. This large, farmed specimen is particularly well-suited to reef aquariums, offering a captivating natural movement as its polyps sway with the current.
Farmed specimens are aquarium-hardened, ensuring strong resilience and adaptability. With its stunning size and colouration, it serves as an excellent centrepiece or accent coral for any reef setup—whether beginner or advanced.
Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, Sarcophytons require moderate to high lighting. While they do not require direct feeding, they benefit from occasional supplementation with amino acids and trace elements to maintain optimal colour and growth. Regular water changes and good flow will support health and polyp extension.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO3): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place in a stable area with moderate to strong indirect flow to encourage gentle polyp extension and prevent detritus buildup. Ideal for mid to upper levels of the tank. Ensure it has enough space to expand and avoid crowding from more aggressive corals.
