Mycedium spp. (Ultra) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive appearance and vibrant colours. This Tank-Bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy growth and acclimatisation to aquarium life.
Lighting: 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 flow is ideal to keep the coral’s polyps gently swaying without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy expansion.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote optimal health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to encourage growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow.
Additional Notes: As this listing is to genus level (Mycedium spp.), specific origin and maximum size details are not provided. Conservative husbandry practices are advised to ensure success.
