Micromussa diminuta is a popular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vivid colours and dynamic polyp extension. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens ideal for marine aquarium hobbyists.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 systems providing 100-200 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to encourage polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this frag on rockwork or substrate with adequate space around it to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals. It can be placed in lower to mid-level areas of the tank.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular feeding will promote growth.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Micromussa diminuta benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging interactions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Colonies can grow to approximately 15 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water quality.
Regular monitoring of water parameters including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for healthy skeletal growth. This cultured frag is an excellent addition to a mixed reef aquarium, offering vibrant colour and moderate care requirements.
