Amplexidiscus fenestrafer, commonly known as the green mushroom coral, is a fascinating soft coral prized for its distinctive appearance and vibrant green hue. This small specimen is perfect for marine reef aquariums, adding texture and colour to your coral collection.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain its vivid colour without causing stress. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure the coral’s delicate tissues are not damaged while promoting healthy respiration and nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for expansion.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters will support optimal health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overgrow it.
This small green Amplexidiscus fenestrafer is a beautiful addition to any reef tank, offering both aesthetic appeal and manageable care requirements.
