AT A GLANCE
Quick facts: Care level: Easy · Lighting: Moderate–High · Flow: Moderate · Feeding: Optional
WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS CORAL?
Hulk Pavona is a vibrant and fast-growing SPS coral known for its intense neon green coloration and rugged, ridged growth structure. Its bold colour remains highly visible even under whiter lighting, while under blue spectrum it develops a strong fluorescent glow. With a plating to encrusting form that adds height, texture, and movement to rockwork, this coral is ideal for reef keepers looking to add structure and striking colour with minimal difficulty.
CARE LEVEL
Easy
An excellent choice for both newer SPS keepers and experienced reef aquarists.
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: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable alkalinity and overall consistency are key to maintaining strong growth and vibrant colour.
LIGHTING
• Moderate–High
• PAR Range: 150–250 PAR
Hulk Pavona thrives under moderate to higher lighting and adapts well with proper acclimation. Strong lighting enhances colour intensity and skeletal development.
PLACEMENT
• Mid / Upper rockwork
Position on stable rockwork with sufficient space to encrust and plate outward. Be mindful of faster growth potentially shading nearby corals.
FLOW
• Moderate
Provide consistent, varied flow to keep the coral surface clean and encourage healthy skeletal formation.
FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Feeding optional
Recommended feeding schedule:
• Occasional (optional)
Accepted foods:
• Fine powdered coral foods
• Reef roids
• Microplankton blends
• Amino acid supplements
Supplemental feeding may enhance growth rate but is not required for long-term success.
