Barabattoia amicorum (Premium) (frag)

Barabattoia amicorum is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and unique skeletal structure. This premium frag is cultured by DJM, ensuring healthy, tank-bred specimens ideal for marine reef aquariums.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are suitable.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient delivery.

Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium to balance light exposure and flow. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with LPS coral husbandry.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.

Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote vibrant growth and longevity. Feeding with meaty foods such as mysis or specialised coral foods can enhance health but is not mandatory.
