Duncanopsammia axifuga is a captivating LPS coral from the family Dendrophylliidae, prized for its large, fleshy polyps and vivid colours. This specimen is supplied as a 10-polyp colony and is not fragable, making it ideal for hobbyists seeking a mature, established coral.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours without causing stress. Avoid intense direct light which may bleach the polyps.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient delivery while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable rockwork base with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or stinging from neighbouring corals. It thrives best in mid to lower reef zones.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid competition or harm.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis or marine plankton can promote growth and polyp extension.
Maintain stable water parameters typical for reef aquaria, including temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, and low nutrient levels.
