The Rhodactis inchoata (Orange) is a stunning soft coral known for its bright orange colour and unique texture, making it a popular choice among marine aquarium enthusiasts. This premium small specimen is ideal for hobbyists looking to enhance their reef tank with a hardy and visually striking mushroom coral.
Lighting: This coral thrives under moderate lighting conditions, such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups providing medium PAR levels. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to keep the coral healthy and to prevent detritus accumulation without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Place the Rhodactis inchoata on rockwork or substrate where it can expand fully. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression, as it can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for beginners to intermediate aquarists due to its hardy nature and adaptability.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. It coexists well with most reef inhabitants but may exhibit territorial behaviour towards other soft corals.
Regular water quality maintenance and stable parameters will promote vibrant colouration and healthy growth. Feeding is not mandatory but can be supplemented with fine particulate foods or coral-specific supplements to encourage expansion.
