Care Guide:
-
Lighting: Best under low to moderate reef lighting; blue-spectrum or mixed LED setups enhance fluorescence without bleaching.
-
Water Flow: Gentle, indirect water flow sufficient to keep polyps open but avoid direct blasts that can cause stress.
-
Placement: Lower to mid-tank rockwork or on frag plugs; give spacing so neighboring corals don’t overshadow it.
-
Water Parameters: Stable reef conditions required temperature ~75-80°F, salinity ~1.024-1.026, pH 8.1-8.4.
-
Feeding: Photosynthetic, but occasional micro-plankton or reef micro foods enhance color and growth rate.
-
Frag Format: Sold per single polyp; larger polyp with bold coloration and designer pattern.
This designer Zoanthid is perfect for reef lovers seeking a rare, glowing soft coral to stand out.
