Micromussa spp. are popular large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their striking colours and relatively hardy nature, making them a great addition to marine reef aquariums. This listing features a Tank-Bred frag, sustainably cultured by DJM, ensuring healthy growth and reduced impact on wild populations.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems designed for reef tanks. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral healthy without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the frag on stable rockwork in the lower to middle sections of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Diet: While Micromussa spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, they benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. Micromussa corals can extend sweeper tentacles and may sting nearby corals, so maintain sufficient distance to avoid conflicts.
Minimum Tank Size: Not Provided – however, a well-established reef aquarium with stable water parameters is recommended.
Origin: Not Provided – cultured specimens reduce wild collection impact.
Maximum Size: Not Provided – growth rates vary depending on conditions.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable reef parameters will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours. This cultured frag is an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking a visually striking and sustainable LPS coral addition.
