Anthelia glauca | S

Anthelia glauca is a captivating soft coral species prized for its graceful, feathery polyps that gently sway in the aquarium current. This small variant is perfect for hobbyists looking to add movement and texture to their reef display.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy growth and vibrant colouration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.

Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.

Placement: Position Anthelia glauca in an area with sufficient space to prevent overgrowth onto neighbouring corals. It benefits from placement on rockwork or substrate where it can expand freely.

Compatibility: This species is generally reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. It coexists well with most peaceful reef inhabitants.

Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters will promote optimal health.

Additional Notes: Feeding is not usually necessary as Anthelia glauca derives nutrition primarily from photosynthesis and dissolved organics, but occasional supplementation with coral foods can be beneficial.
