WATER REQUIREMENTS & GENERAL CARE

• Temperature: 24–27 °C
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 (32–35 ppt)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH
• Calcium: 420–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm
Stable parameters, balanced nutrients, and adequate trace elements are essential for sustained polyp extension and long‑term health.

---

LIGHTING
• Moderate
• PAR Range: 80–150 PAR

Moderate lighting supports full extension and brings out the coral’s glitter‑like fluorescence. Gradual acclimation is recommended to avoid light stress.

---

PLACEMENT
• Bottom / Lower–Mid rockwork

Place on stable rockwork or the sandbed with ample space for full polyp extension. Avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals.

---

FLOW
• Low–Moderate

Provide gentle, indirect, and slightly random flow that keeps polyps in motion without causing retraction or tissue damage.

---

FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Strongly benefits from feeding
Recommended feeding schedule:
• 2–3 times per week
Accepted foods:
• Fine powdered coral foods
• Reef roids
• Phytoplankton and zooplankton blends
• Liquid coral foods and amino acids

Regular feeding is critical for maintaining colour intensity, healthy tissue, and consistent extension.
