Cyphastrea decadia is a beautiful and hardy large polyp stony (LPS) coral, prized for its vibrant colours and unique growth patterns. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and acclimatised specimen for your marine reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for Cyphastrea decadia. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels will support optimal growth and coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is recommended to keep the coral healthy and free from detritus buildup, while avoiding excessive turbulence that could damage its delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral frag on stable rockwork with adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. It is best placed in mid-level areas of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are stable.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will ensure long-term health.
Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. Cyphastrea decadia is generally reef safe but may extend sweeper tentacles at night, so maintain distance from sensitive neighbours.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton, marine snow, or specialised coral foods.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to a moderate colony size over time, depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to provide stable water parameters and space.
