Acalycigorgia spp. is a genus of soft gorgonian corals prized for their elegant branching structure and subtle colouration. This extra large specimen offers a striking focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy tissue without causing stress. Avoid intense direct light which may lead to bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent sediment accumulation on the coral’s surface.
Placement: Position the coral in a location with sufficient space to accommodate its growth and avoid contact with neighbouring corals, as it may exhibit allelopathic behaviour. Secure attachment to rockwork is essential to prevent damage from water movement.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific husbandry requirements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; growth rate and final size vary depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 120 litres (30 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and adequate space.
Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters are essential for long-term success with Acalycigorgia spp.
