Mycedium spp. (Green) Tank-Bred Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive green hues and unique skeletal structure. Cultured and grown under controlled conditions, this frag offers a sustainable and reliable option for marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is ideal to ensure the coral’s polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position the frag on a stable rockwork base in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Mycedium spp. can exhibit moderate aggression through sweeper tentacles, so ensure sufficient distance from other corals.
Origin: Not Provided – cultured in captivity to support sustainable reef keeping.
Maximum Size: Not Provided – typically grows moderately over time under optimal conditions.
Regular water parameter maintenance is essential: stable temperature (24-27°C), salinity (1.023-1.025 SG), calcium (400-450 ppm), alkalinity (8-12 dKH), and magnesium (1250-1350 ppm) will support healthy growth.
Adding this Mycedium spp. (Green) Tank-Bred Frag to your marine aquarium will bring a splash of natural colour and texture, enhancing the biodiversity and aesthetic appeal of your reef environment.
