Purchased from Clowns and corals 2011.

Sold on ceramic fragger stone, though grown out on the stone this coral will not encrust over the rock to form a strong bond. If the box is roughly handled in transit, it is likely to fall off. You can reattach the coral with a drop of superglue if this happens.

Green tips and red display better with low PO4 and NO3, tips will glow under blue moonlighting.

PO4. 0.00-0.05
Nitrate. 0.05-0.3ppm
Nitrite 0
Salinity 1024-28
Magnesium 1350
Calcium 400-450ppm
Lighting. Med - very high (Brighter colour tips at higher levels, ours are 120w LED @ 40cm)
KH 8-10DKH
Feeding. Not essential but for faster growth target feed fine particulates, sprinula powder works well with this coral.
Propagation. Asexual divisions can easily be taken from the mother colony, larger well fed colonies can sexually reproduce from planula settlement within the aquarium.
