Seriatopora guttatus (Green) is a delicate and visually striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its bright green branches and intricate growth form. This tiny tank-bred specimen is perfect for hobbyists looking to enhance their reef aquariums with vibrant colour and texture.
Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures designed for SPS corals. Ensure gradual acclimation to intense light to avoid bleaching.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to keep tissues clean and promote healthy growth.
Placement: Position in the upper to middle sections of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are optimal. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for expansion.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for thriving SPS corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow.
Origin: Tank-bred in controlled aquaculture facilities, ensuring sustainability and reduced impact on wild populations.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to around 10-15 cm in branching height under optimal conditions.
Adding Seriatopora guttatus (Green) to your reef tank introduces a splash of vibrant green and delicate branching structure, enhancing the visual complexity and biodiversity of your marine environment.
