Galaxea spp. (Common) Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its textured appearance and vibrant colours. This frag is cultured and grown under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and sustainable addition to your marine reef aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate. Galaxea spp. requires stable water parameters and consistent care but is suitable for hobbyists with some reef experience.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels will support healthy growth without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal. This ensures adequate nutrient delivery and waste removal without damaging the coral’s delicate polyps.
Placement: Place the frag on a stable rock or frag plug in an area with moderate light and flow. Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Galaxea spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, Galaxea spp. benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to enhance growth and colour.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Care should be taken to avoid placing too close to other corals due to potential aggression.
Origin: Not Provided.
