Highlights

Care Requirements

• Lighting: Moderate to low. Too much light can bleach the tissue.

• Flow: Low to moderate. Gentle, indirect flow helps prevent tissue damage.

• Placement: Mid to lower areas of the tank, ideally on rock ledges or sandbed.

• Feeding: While photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional target feeding with meaty foods like mysis shrimp or coral pellets.

Water Parameters

• Temperature: 24–26°C (75–79°F)

• Salinity: 1.025 specific gravity

• Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH

• Calcium: 400–450 ppm

• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm

• Nitrates/Phosphates: Low but detectable levels help maintain color and growth
