Cespitularia infirmata is a captivating soft coral known for its graceful, feathery polyps that create a gentle swaying effect in the aquarium. This large variant is perfect for adding natural movement and texture to mature reef systems.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy growth without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid to lower section of the tank where it can receive moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for natural expansion.
Care Level: Intermediate. While not overly demanding, Cespitularia infirmata benefits from stable water parameters and consistent maintenance.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral coexists well with other soft corals and many reef-safe fish and invertebrates.
Additional Notes: Regular water changes and monitoring of water quality will help maintain optimal conditions. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may overgrow or sting.
