Caulastrea curvata (Green) Ultra Small is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bright green polyps and unique curved skeletal structure. This small-sized colony is an excellent addition to marine reef aquariums, offering both aesthetic appeal and moderate husbandry requirements.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the polyps clean and healthy while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Caulastrea curvata can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral care. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, this coral benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and polyp extension.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near highly aggressive corals.
Additional Notes: This specimen is offered in an ultra small size, ideal for those looking to cultivate a growing colony or add a splash of colour to their reef display.
